Permacool dual fans

I have 2 permacool 16" fans. one mounted to pull, other to push. The previous owner had the original fans setup to run on the ignition, so they run all the time the car is on. I didn't want this while I was trying to start my car, so I installed 2 switches in my dash to be able to control when the fans are on and off. Both fans work when the key is in the "on" position and car is not running. After starting the car, one of the fans will no longer turn on (the one setup to pull air). After driving, I will shut off the car, put the key in the "on" position and that fan will not turn on. Anyone got any suggestions?

Fans are powered off of original wiring, and I have the switches interrupting the ground, and then grounded under the dash.

Found my problem. Opened the hood while the engine was running and the fan switch was on and wiggled the power wire and it jumped to life, then let go and it coasted down to a stop. Wiggled it again and it turned on again. Bad (+) connection.
