Gary:

STOP WHATEVER ELSE YOU MIGHT BE TROUBLESHOOTING IMMEDIATELY!  The "very
fried 70amp relay under the dash" is your cooling fan motor relay.  The
reason the relay is fried is your cooling fan motor is either frozen or
about to be frozen!  Replace this motor NOW....Fire damage potential!!!
Wiring harness meltdown potential big $$$$$$$$$ damage potential!!!   BTDT
