how does this happen? I have fal fans
wired to the stock harness. The fuse didn't
blow. The bottom side of the connector is
melted as you can see in the pic.

NON OEM fans pulling power thru OEM size fuse. They pull more amps than the stock setup is setup for.

No, it wasn't a short or over rated for the fuse. It was just too much amperage (heat) over time.

I would recommend a separate relay system wired and fused to the battery using the old stock system as a trigger for the relay(s)

Check the manufacturer's rating for max draw for the fans to build the power system accordingly.
