fan problem update

[Dan Simoes <dans>]

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I will be collating them into a summary file as an example of what I'd
like to see from a "help" list.

This morning I went out and turned the key on, ac on, and jiggled the
wires at the connector.  It spun.  Aha.  
Turned off the key, went to try to get the connector off.  Interesting,
there is no connector.  It seems someone had replaced the connector with
three individual female connectors (of low quality) and two of them had
melted their insulating covers.

Also, I notice that the two large ga. wires (blue,black) are stiff and somewhat
brittle at the ends, the thinner red wire is OK.

I'm trying to decide if I run up to the nearest junkyard to get a connector
and splice it in, replace the individual connectors, or what.

I'm guessing that the fact that the fan connector keeps melting means that
a) this is a poor design or b) the fan is on its way out and is drawing
too much current.  Thoughts?
