Here's some more info on the time delay relay

this is the first relay to check. It is the relay that keeps the fan running for a period of time rather than until the temp drops to shut the fans. You can bypass this relay so that yor fans will run until the temp drops ie 10 minutes versus the 2-3 minutes controlled by the relay.
this information is pasted from the townsendimports.com site.
"Starting with the 84 cars, the time delay relay was installed on the left fender well, not in the fuse box. It will have 4 wires going to it, two (yellow/white) of a larger gauge than the other two. To eliminate it, simply remove the relay, clip the larger two wires and solder/insulate them together. Leave the relay disconnected. This bypasses the relay. When these time delay relays fail, and they all eventually fail, they do so in one of two ways, they either stick closed and run the battery down or they stick open and prevent the fans from coming on. They cost at least $85 for replacement and eliminating them prevents future troubles. On the 89-> cars, the modified relay is both less expensive and more reliable than the relay that is there."
