RW> So you just happened to have a relay that could handle the amps, which   
   RW> caused the connector to burn instead.   
      
   That was the second fan relay I have installed in the Durango.  The original   
   relay caused the "high fan" setting to stop working.  They apparently   
   re-designed the relays ( probably allowing higher amps) which then causes the   
   connector and wires to melt vs. failing the relay.  Most people I saw with   
   this problem replaced the fan motor at the same time to make sure that wasn't   
   why it was pulling too many amps.  It also mentioned that in the blower relay   
   instructions.  That's why I decided to go ahead and swap it all.   
      
   RW> Luckily it seems, there are a lot of Durangos and Dakotas in the scrap   
   RW> yards.   
      
   I saw many late 90 model Durangos at the junk yard, but they don't have the   
   fan relay/blower motor setup like our particular 2001.  We eventually found   
   just one Durango that had the setup like ours and I was able to get cut the   
   wires to get the connector.
