I had the AC fixed, now that the AC is fixed, after running it awhile, the fuse #17 a 25 amp will start to Melt, then blow.
My mechanic has looked at it all morning. He said he shows a 10 amp current draw across through the fuse/circuit.
He checked out the blower motor, the control unit, etc. Everything seems to be fine.
He is taking it to another guy this afternoon that just deals with electrical car issues. Just thought I'd check with the list first for any pointers.
Thanks,

Hi, Sam.
Having the fuses "melt" isn't unusual. The connection between the fuse and the fingers will get corroded (or just lightly oxidized) and that
creates resistance. The fuse then gets hot, gets soft and starts to compress.
The solution is to clean the fuse holder well and the ends of the fuse. Also, using fuses that have a ceramic body will stop it from melting.

Dirty contacts for the fuse -- acting like little heaters so that even though the current isn't enough to blow the fuse, it still heats up.
