Correct. I just replaced the 30amp strip fuse for the blower on my car. In 1991 it was standard design from the factory. I would guess the blower motor is over drawing the circuit which is why the 25amp fuse is melting. It could be the brushes have worn completely down and are binding/dragging against the armature.
