if the relay clicks then its working properly, but they do have a current limit
u should prolly have one for the big fan, and one for the rest
make sure the earth wire on the fans and the relay is as big as the power wire going to it
when grounding through a bolt hole, scratch off some of the paint so that the wire/connector is contacted with bare metal
remember, paint doesnt conduct
if you want to test the current that all the fans are drawing, put the black lead in the COM hole and the red in the 10A hole (this is usually the case, but not always), and set the dial to 10A
then place the DMM (digi multimeter) in SERIES with the power cable going to the fans, with the red lead on the battery and the black lead on the wires going to the fans/relay, depending on the setup
if this works u should know how much current the fans are drawing, and buy some cable to handle this
dont use speaker wire, its not designed to take it
buy some proper auto wire (5m rolls, get a red, a black, and prolly a blue or green to distinguish the different purposes
