That was scary for a moment! '86 560SEL

Driving down the road all of a sudden my A/C blower just stopped. Blew a fuse I figured since it has been known to happen on occasion.

Then started smelling electric smoke, then the blower motor came back on, THEN smoke started coming through the vents.

Turned car off in the middle of four lane boulevard, opened hood to see smoke and then noticed the 30 amp fuse holder in front of the fuse box absolutely melted like a Hershey's chocolate bar in summer sun.

Wow! Why did it do that??
