I am told that the compressor clutch may be pulling too many amps. The #8 fuse is too hot to touch and has melted the plastic a bit behind the feed side of #8 on the fuse box. The fuse seems to be cool enough when the compressor is not engaged. Should the fuse get hot to touch like that? Why does the fuse (16a) not pop?

All of this follows an evaporator replacement. I don't wish that job on anyone. Check out my firewall.


Thanks guys, I do not hold too much faith in this mechanic and would like a second opinion before I have the freon pulled out again.
