My blower fuse in my '93 400E blew and actually started a fire in my engine compartment. My indy mechanic took my car and fixed it all up. My insurance actually paid for most of the damage.

What my mechanic found was that a terminal broke off from my ignition switch and according to him, it caused a much higher load on my blower motor circuit. Consequently, it blew the fuse and started the fire.
