Been keeping an eye on the switch and the wires and never once have they got hot. Had the fan on for an hour and a half straight the other day and no issue.
bokey- Their skills as automotive specialists are not in question here.

But to value their ideas over that of teams of electrical engineers that design these circuits may be a bit of a mistake.

It's not just the fact that the relay is switched, it's also that the relay prevents against voltage drop. Don't believe me? Take a look at "headlight upgrade kits" for old muscle. They are all wiring upgrades that include a relay.
