After turning off the engine when the outside temp is 105 degrees the fan runs no more than 3 times for less than a minute each time and I have never run the battery down.

It was my fault the controller fried. I was cleaning up the wiring to look better and I attached the positive wire to the wrong terminal. When I turned the cutoff switch back on I soon smelled plastic burning. As it goes with DIY, I make a mistake I can be sure it will cause a bigger problem.

Since the pusher fan is temp activated, it doesn't matter where the probe is located in the radiator once the the adjustable controller is in place. All that is necessary is set the controller to activate the puller fan just before the pusher fan starts running.
