Nope, if the relays are truly bad (you test them by putting 12V current on one side of the coil and ground on the other - coil is 85 and 86 pins - and seeing if it 'clicks'), it's because you're passing too much current though them, or you've got it wired up wrong (fan power through the coil instead of the high-current circuit - 30 and 87 pins). I'd check all your crimps, as well as your ground (ground to the frame rail, or sheet metal welded to the frame rail - most of the car is simply glued together and does not handle high current well.

If the thermostat wasn't opening, the radiator (and the water inside of it) wouldn't get hot, your engine would just melt itself to hell. You need to re-bleed the system, with the front elevated, heater on, until you get a solid stream of coolant coming out of the bleeder port - then drive the car, observe, and repeat.
