sounds a bit sus.

Theres 3 relay's on XH's.

First relay energizes both fans at low RPM.
Second relay splits the series wiring, and commits fan 2 (drives to full speed.)
Third relay Earths out Fan one's Neg Rail. and Relay 1 continues for the Positive.

Simply swap both same relays with each other and see if you get any progress.

If nothing happens, Unplug the temp sensor (on the thermostat housing) this should make all relay's turn on and resulting both fans going flat out.

But the best way is to check the fan wires with a multimeter.
