fans are running and not running

I´m new to FD3S but I´m learning, the club is a big big help. First of all I´ve used serch on the forum to help me understand the cooling problem in my rx7. from that I found out that the 4 blade fan was not running. So I check the wires and found that they were the problem. fixed that.....( thought I did )
Today I still have some problem, the thing is when my test drive was over the 4 blade fan was again not working and the 5 blade did not stop runnig. I waited for like 2 minutes and the took the battery off and put it back on to let it stop, I also (knock lightly) on the four relaysboxes for the fan and when I did the fan slowed down.
can I link the problem straight to bad relay?? can a bad relay make the other fan running and running and the other one not running? Or what is it?

thanks to you guys and the club

Yep, that definitely sounds like bad relays. Also keep checking for open are shorted wiring.

found out that the fan motor is not working. so I´m ordering a new one. nothing wrong with relays or wires, I got power to the last plug to the fan, so it must be the motor.
