Happy Motoring, Mark
Mike, Thanks for identifing the additional vehicles.

X2 on ceramic fuse base with copper fuse metal. The fuse box itself is what melted on mine. I assume the ever present fuse spring pressure, combined with the excess heat, pushed the inlet fuse contact far enough into the soft fuse box to prevent a good enough connection to power the blower.

Thanks
Harry
