electrical question

ok,i direct wired my rad fan into my fuse panel so its always on with the key, i then(probly a bad idea but i took a short cut) connected my power wire from my tranny cooler fan to this same wire, i just peeled back the casing and "t"ed it in.........i know i should have 2 seperate wires but heres the deal , its been this way for 2 years with no probs, today i take the car out for the first time since last year and the wire is emitting a high pitched hum and when i touch it it is vibrating and this is with the key off?????? it isnt getting any power with the key off and only the part passed the "T" is humming not the whole wire.....why would it all of a sudden do this?

Is it vibrating only when the fans are on or spinning down after shutoff? Start at the fans and see if one of them are vibrating. If not, rewire them correctly and zip tie the bloody things.
