Pretty serious electrical engineering oversight considering the fans pull over 40 amps on startup. My fuse holder looked like that pile of lava after a year. A higher capacity or dual fuse/relay setup is necessary.

You probably sleep better at night now knowing the car won't set your garage on fire!
