Burned relay

This is the relay socket that controls the blower fan in the rear compartment. If I install a new relay in the socket it melts. Has this happened to anyone before? Does anyone have the wiring diagram for this circuit? I do know this area the car had been worked on before and may have been wired wrong. This weekend I'm going to replace the socket but want to make sure the wiring is correct. Thanks for any help.

Two possibilities.
1. The blower motor could be pulling high amperage causing the overheating on relay socket.
2. Female spade connectors on the socket was loose causing it to overheat.

Yup, I plan on changing the blower motor along with the socket. I was just wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram or a photo of the backside of the socket so I can make sure that the wires were correct. This car was in an accident in this area before and has been worked on so I'm not sure if they put it back correct. Trying to cover all bases.
