I'm not an electrician, so I fixed it by just unhooking it, and now the fan runs 100% of the time. I think I'd kill the battery pretty quick with an alternator delete!
SORRY PEOPLE! I know a bunch of you cringed from hearing that politically incorrect statement (considering how many of you do alternator deletes), but hey, the car's still on the road! Told you I was cheap!
BTW, if anybody knows how to fix something like that, it probably wouldn't hurt for me to try to go ahead and do it legit

Hehe. Fan delete was one of my first mods
The cooling system of the Festiva is actually way over engineered and will basically never need a fan as long as you don't overdo the grill block. You probably pick up 2-3mpg going from full on fan to no fan
As long as you leave the space in front of the lower grill opening on the radiator side, I'd bet you never have any issues. And then you could also do the alternator delete!
