I've discovered my 89's fuse and relay for the cooling fan very hot. (this fan is the one in front of the condensor)

The fuse is #7 and someone in the past had spliced an external 30A fuse from it as the #7 fuse holder melted. Unfortunately the external 30A fuse is also hot and has melted a bit of the ashtray above it is in contact with. The relay for the fan (silver relay marked J) is also hot. I've tried swapping a new relay but the new relay also became hot.

My AC fuse #16 is also hot but that's something known and discussed in the FAQ. I'm thinking of getting a new fuse panel since I have 2 melted fuse positions (#7 and 16). But with the heat generated by the fan's fuse I'm afraid it'll just melt the (new) fuse panel again.

Anyone else having the same issue with their cooling fan? What can I do to make things cooler?

Thanks
