This is probably happening on ALL Gen II Vipers (also Gen I possibly). CHECK YOUR FAN RELAY CONNECTORS!!!!!!!
As my car was torn apart for my Paxton install, I tackeled this today. Took me about 3 hours or so... My theory is the wire is too small and under a high current load when the high speed fan comes on. The wire is getting hot and melting the connector. So, I doubeled the size of the wire by soldering in larger gauge wire along side the original wire, to the 3 connectors (2 relay & 1 fuse). See pics below. It may still get hot and melt, but I feel heat will be distributed better and not "bottleneck" at the connector as bad. We'll see... I know there is more detail I can write but don't rerally have the time at the moment, so ask questions and I'll respond later.
It really is not that difficult to remove the box and access everything. Just unscrew everything and TAPE UP THE HOT WIRE ONCE YOU PULL IT OFF THE BATTERY POST ON THE BOX.
