blower motor fuse blew- anything I need to look out for?

My heater has been acting up lately, which hasn't happened since I replaced the control unit a few years ago (new), when the blower quit altogether about a week ago. (The defrost wasn't even kicking on.) Anyway, I found that the fuse was blown, and looked like it may have really BLOWN when it went, because there was some smoky looking stuff on it and the fuse next to it. When my daughter had her 82 240d, it had the fuse holder completely melted out when we got it, and I read a lot about how the blower could get overloaded and cause big problems. I got this fuse changed out, but is there anything I need to start looking at before a bigger problem arises? Thanks for any replies!

from reading the forum here i learned this was a bypass/adapter type thing that MB made to bypass the fusebox and had an inline fuse for the blower motor. if you cant get that part i'm sure someone here can help you make one of your own

fuses

Not sure about your fuses, but on my 1991 300d, I was told to replace ALL the old, pitted metal ones, and replace with the new copper ones that don't pit. The old ones can get old and build up resistance, causing other electrical problems.
