Burning wires

I'm not electrical minded at all  , but have wired my car 
My main DC16 thermo fan works great, never had a problem with it (except for the relays and switches etc. different story).
My other fans consist of 2 x CD sized ones on the side of the radiator and 1 x 10inch one in between the radiator and the intercooler.
These other 3 fans I've tried to wire off the one relay, which resulted in the large wire from the batery to the relay (about 15cm long, and pretty thick) melting, and some of the small wires to the fans (I used cheapy stereo wires) have burnt off the relay completely.
Now if I only put one of the fans on the relay and put a new thick power wire to the relay it still burnt off the relay.
Are my wires to the fan too thin? (I've got some thicker ones but don't want to do it if its not going to make a difference)
Is my relay busted?
Is my battery/charge system stuffed? (everything else works great)
I've got a nice multimeter that I'm learning to use - used it in wiring the engine, but I'm still not sure what it all means I just kept twisting the knob till something I could understand came up on the readout.
The large DC fan is adequate for cooling, but having 4 thermo fans is just cool  . Plus when I put my intercooler back in I want more airflow to the radiator.
