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.

Take a look at "headlight upgrade kits" for old muscle. They are all wiring upgrades that include a relay.
