Installed a 3.8l taurus fan, wired the high setting with a 50A relay. The post #30 on the relay (terminal that goes straight to the fan power) gets really hot, and it has a good soldered connection, to the power wire.

Is it normal for relays to get hot? should i get thicker gauged wires?

I tried wiring the high setting before on a stock nissan relay and the same problem happened, the exact same post started to overheat.

What the hell.
