With relay installed fan won't work. drove 5 minutes, fan quit. Removed relay, put the jumper on male connector side from blk/org hot wire to brown wire, fan turns on fine.
Runs on low for 3-4 mins fine, same as #2
Switch to 3, runs for 2 mins, starts to flutter a bit, down to 2, seems ok and still running.
On high, runs for 15 seconds, starts to wobble a lot, shutting off, was able to quickly get to Low setting, and it ran ok.

Re installed repro relay, fan is working again (???)

Next step is to try not to overload it, but I think I should get voltage readings before and after the resistor? Maybe that is causing some grief.

Weird, because that fan should get straight battery voltage when I put the jumper on the relay connector, nothing from the battery should get overloaded and try to shut down the fan---unless it's the resistor.
