Default What's burning out the radiator fan relay, 98 Grand Voyager 3.0?

Thanks, Mopar Man. And PaxPerPoten, check out this fan test:

I ran the test with my multimeter, passenger side fan showed about 10 amps, driver side fan 62 amps! Does this test sound kosher? I didn't know you could test potential current draw with just an ohm-meter. If so, could I have fried the new PWM relay before the fans tried to spin? I read the whole article, but I can't check the 'relay' because I don't have a 'generic scanner' and probably wouldn't know how to use it. Would Advance or Autozone be able to test the relay? I just spent big bucks on the relay, so if it's fried they'll replace it, but if it's okay I'll keep it, replace the fans, and keep troubleshooting. By the way, I'm a 53 year old audio engineer, so I'm a little green when it comes to working on cars.
Thanks a whole lot, guys
