That is more confirmation that it is the ignition relay then (didn't notice 
that in the original post).  When the fan operates the additional current 
from that causes even more volt-drop through the bad connection at the 
relay, killing the voltage to the ignition and everything else.

That link is for a 'hi/lo blower' relay which looks to me as if it is 
intended for two-speed cooling fan motors as often found on modern cars. 
You just need a basic Bosch 4-terminal 12v/30A relay such as

The circuit breaker should be below the fusebox, brown/white and green 
wires, as shown here
