I wonder if the melted box comes from the aux fuel pump locking up? It takes the CCU and the fuse with it? Neither of mine, and none of my friends W123's, have this fuse box issue but also none of us have dealt with a seized up aux pump.

Definitely agree on not using a plastic fuse especially in this location. I stick with the ceramic fuses.
