Have you had your power steering fan and radiator fan put on separate circuits?

Have you solved this problem yet?

My fan comes on every few minutes for about 10 seconds then shuts off. It did this even on cold days in the winter. When the fan turned on every few minutes I could hear the click of the relay and the daytime running lights would also dim every time. Know what the problem is?
