would twin 10" thermo fans/vl fuel pump constantly on be enough to prevent a battery from charging?

i seem to be running on minimal power any advise on were to look would be a great help.

head lights are dim, dash warning lights (been on since ea was ripped out) pulse and the power windows have little to no power

Sounds like it could be an earth problem, check all the earths and make sure the radiator and alternator have a good earth.

Most of the time the Thermoswitches and Fans use the radiator as there earth.
