Not all relays are set up the same. Even though they might look alike. I'd guess that since the fan is running all the time that the relay you are using is different from the original.

Re: my mk4 escort
No, your fuse box is not suppose to get hot and melt. Burned contacts can create a lot of resistance resulting in fire. I would reccommend replacing the fuse box or the connectors at the very least. Your faulty fuse box may be the cause of your original problem.
A friend of mine had multiple circuit failures. When I removed the fuse box from it's mounting, the back side was charcoal although it looked fine from the front.
