Default Electric Fan Relay Help...

Well, I decided on my fan controller (SPAL) and everything but Im just having problems with getting a relay. I talked to the guys at SPAL and they said I neede two single pole double throw 50 amp relays. I called every audio shop, speed shop, etc. in my area and noone has anything. The only thing I found was this and I was just wondering if this is correct. The guys at SPAL said I needed a 50 amp for the low and a 50amp for the high. I am using a 3.8L Taurus fan BTW. Is this the relay?

Yes that is correct.

I hunted around forever when my Lincoln Mark VIII fan (same)
kept melting 30amp relays you find at autoparts stores out on the rack.

I finally found a 40amp at Oreilly's, but they had to go back and check the
shelf behind the counter for it. Box happend to be marked 40amp.

Yeah, I had a pain finding a 40amp too.

I think mine was a Siemens, but yeah a relay is a relay
