Depending on driving conditions, it may have been the problem. The fuse affects the cooling (Aux) fan, which you need to run under certain circumstances, the main circumstance would be slow driving, like in a traffic jam, or even at lower in-town speeds (25 mph or lower). Once you get much above that speed, the fans running are of little or no benefit, so they are just "extra weight" and that point, the wind rush is greater than what the fan provides.
If you were driving under these types of conditions when the AC wasn't working well, it may well have been the problem.
You can just let the car sit in the sun (I am in Wisconsin so I know what the weather is like there near Chicago) and let it warm up due to solar heating, and then start it up and crank the AC all the way down and see if it seems to be blowing cold air or not.
