In case anyone runs into this...
Got new relay and checked every combination of relay with both fans, and then conencted drivers fan to passenger side electrics to see if it would work, and it did. However, with both fans connected drivers side would still would not run.
Thru process of elimination using wiring diagram on page 40, needed to determine which relay 'port' might on the two drivers side relays might be cauing problems. After continuity to fan check on red/black fan wire to 30 on relay D, and to red/white fan wire to 87 on relay A, it narrowed down to 86 on relay A (which happens to be where A/C system interfaces with radiator cooling fans).
So to the A/C system. Although I'm not sure just what happened, I then turned the cockpit blower on and pushed the A/C button (it turned green and I heard click from behind instrument panel). Turned them all off and then checked the radiator fans. Both worked fine for the first time since I discovered problem. Once I crank it up, I'll know if that click meant anything bad for the A/C system.
