Hoping to have time to chase it down this weekend but looking for input
I have a lethal return system in my Mach, been in for years. Last night I went to the trunk to pull the pump fuses so I didn't have to listen to them with the key forward. One of the fuse holders (20 amp fuses) the back side of the holder was melted. The yellow plastic around the fuse was basically gone. The fuse itself was brittle but intact enough to pass voltage. I pulled the other fuse and once I got it into the light you can see the yellow plastic was deformed as well.
The car has had no issues running or anything.
My question is what makes a fuse melt like that without popping? Will a rub/short do it or what?
I have 2 new fuse holders on the way that look identical to the ones supplied by Lethal. My kit is older so while it has the relays and such I dont believe it has the inline fusable links and such of the newer versions
