Hello!

I"m in the process of removing the old car phone setup that was in my car. In this, I came across a problem. One wire goes into the fuse block, and I opened up the hatch to find that the fuse for the ACC blower motor and for the a/c compressor is partially melted. THis isn't the first time it has happened; last time, I just put a different fuse in thinking that it was an old fuse. That was about a month ago. The fuse is physically shorter than usual, and there is some ash around it. I'm using those plastic fuses like what were original.

I'm using the 25 amp fuse that is spec'ed, so I'm thinking that something's wrong...yet everything seems to be working properly. Any thoughts on where to look?

Thanks in advance!
