You're catching on...and correct on the fuse (as stated). So...if the fuse
blows first (as it should)...there's no need for 70+amp relays.

The wiring harness in this case is complete independent from the factory
harness, and it's build properly.

It all comes down to the fuse itself. Even purposely friend a fan to see
how it would work out. Having a relay melt on you, possibly causing an
electrical fire (even just on the circuit involved) isn't desirable.

Look at it from this point: If you over-build your circuit, you share the
risk of overloading your wiring harness - burning them up. Best bet is to
put them at the max rating as relays and fuses are designed to save your
wiring harness.

Just as the fan puts a load on the relay... (Not a electrician, but from
what I've gone through-- that seems to be what goes first-- cheap relays,
lots of load, and high duty cycle, especially if tied into your AC/TEMP
connector -- fan will cycle on a off frequently in traffic)
