I am thinking you had some severe resistance in the fuse block. The fan can pull upwards of 25 amps (peak). The single largest item other than the starter. The 6 gauge wire is more than enough (10 gauge would be plenty) crimped, soldered and sealed with shrink tubing makes for a bullet proof electrical connection. Try using a little Dielectric grease on the spade terminals of the relay and the fuse. Be sure all terminls are tight. Moisture is a very bad thing, control it.
One of the connections on that wire run had resistance in it.
