[QUOTE="beachz, post: 823807, member: 16058"] I don't know that a solid connection would get hot enough without breaching the fuse to melt that plastic. If it were arcing to make contact, that would allow it to melt the fuse housing without blowing the fuse. I would bet that the spring ears for 27 were sprung and not allowing constant full contact. Once the plastic melts away, the ear of the fuse can move. When it gets hot, it may move enough to fail to make contact any more. When it cools, it could move back out. Just a theory. In an emergency situation you could SLIGHTLY twist the ear of the fuse to force it make contact. That would at least get you out of the woods. I had a sprung connector in my TwinTurbo that acted very similar, although it didn't melt away that far. I know what the cause was though. The previous owner had jumped that fuse with a connector to an amp!*@&#^& *******! [/QUOTE]
