It sounds like they are getting power but not staying on, i'd focus on the fan motors, it's going to overheat without the fans working.

In that case i would look at the relays and if its not that the pcm is likely the cause, testing one out is hard to do with the older OBD1 tools being harder to find anyone that still has them.

The computer brain of the car, typically when 2 things fail at the same time that are on there own relays then i'd look at the PCM

The hardest part is finding someone with OBD1 equipment as a PCM in a quick search looks to be fairly cheap, just needs to be diagnosed.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
