Question A/C Electrical Problem

I'm sure hoping to get some help here. I've been fighting small problems that have all manifested themselves into big problems. Vaccum & an a/c fan blower motor that is flaky at best. I've fixed the vaccum. The main problem now is the fan blower motor. I had it out to repair a spade connection that broke. When i put it back in I decided to hook it up for testing first (before i put everything back together & have it not work. It came on alright, but when i picked it up it got faster. It ran When I held it upside down it would blow very fast (like it did when I bought the car), and when I held it right-side-up it slowed way down & eventually stopped. I pushed a few a/c control buttons to see if I could coax it into coming back on. It did when I turned it upside down again. Next thing, it stopped and the control unit (where the buttons are) started clicking/popping & the whole system died.

Went and got a new (used) fan and control unit from a bone yard. We tested them at the yard & they both work fine. Put them in the car, nothing. Checked the fuses. Ahh. Blown a/c fuse. Not only blown, but it got so hot that the fuse block melted at the back of the fuse where the holder is mounted to the "plastic" fuse block. Got that all fixed up & put in a new fuse. started over testing to see if the "new" parts work. Still nothing. Got an ohm meter & tested the fuse connection. I think I'm on the right track now. there is no power at the fuse when the car is running & the a/c is turned on (but still not running). All the other fuses had power. Any ideas on why the a/c fuse isn't getting power? Is there anything between the fuse and the battery that could have fried when the system died? What do I check now? I'm at my wits end & I'm ready to get ride of it!!!!

Help!! Signed no a/c in Texas.

Thanks ahead for any direction ya'll can give me.
