Hot blower fan lead

  I've been thinking of relaying the fan motor since this happened. Would you 
relay from the power lead itself, running the relay all the time the car is 
on, or from the fan switch, requiring one relay for each speed?

<< Carl, This is a continuing problem from it's design, I have replaced the
 plugs and fuse panels alot before in the past, I intend to modify the wiring
 on my '76 for the high current devices (Heater Blower Fan, Windshield Wiper,
 Rear Defroster Ect...) using relay's, Later model VW's went with this type
 of setup specifically to eliminate this with what is known as a Load
 Reduction Relay, if you have a local (quick & simple or check w/
 www.parts4vws.com ) quality german parts supplier look into getting a Bosch
 "Hot Start Relay Kit" the Bosch part #  is BOS-WR1 it comes pre-wired with
 an inline fuse holder, 15 AMP fuse, relay socket and a 30Amp Bosch "made in
 germany" Relay,  (I used 2 of these kits for relaying my headlights) local
 parts house indicated they could sell me the kit for cheaper than the relay
 costs alone. For the time being clean/tighten all connections but I would
 seriously look into upgrading and take the load off of the fuse panel/plugs.
 Hope this helps, if you have any ?'s feel free to ask.
