Excellent. 

I recently had the lovely melted fuse box but I repaired it with the pig
tail. At the same time the relay/fan fix had melted, but it is now repaired.

My guess is the fans cycling. That seems to make the most sense. I will
listen for the fans during long distance driving at night and see if that is
indeed the cause.
