The problem with my #8 fuse was that the fuse melted the box a little and filled the hole at the end of the fuse holder. One of several things are could be happening 1) the blower is pulling too much current, 2) it's normal for this fuse to get this hot without blowing or 3) the melting was caused a while ago and went unnoticed by whomever was trying to fix the A/C.
