The proper relay is rated at 70 amps. Need to accommodate the inrush of the
motor starting. Wrong relay may weld together with fan stuck on.

There are two Vanagon cooling fans -- the larger one is rated 450 watts
which ought to fit into 40 amps ok.  Always nice to have a higher-rated
part but I think this one ought to do nicely and it's paid for, right?
