Common prob mate........The fans overload the fusebox and melt it...

I wire my fans through a 40A relay direct to the battery and switch the relay with the fan switch(All correctly fused for safety of course)..

The only reliable way is a rewire. I used to make and sell looms to do repair or prevent this from happening which was an independant system.

After you have made a loom to repair the fault, it will take about an hour to fit. can do the whole job from start to finish in about 3.5 hours to the standard I used to make them but a lashed in affair would only take a couple of hours probably.
