Default XR2i 16v.... fan switch....keeps blowing

Anyone know why, or have any suggestions?

Should the switch itself get really hot?

The switch will get the same temp as the coolant.
If it keeps blowing this suggest there is way too much load on the circuit, could be anything from a dead short to a partially seized motor(fan) or even high resistance joints in cable.
