i had a similar problem, thought that or not enough wire for the current i was drawing, but someone on here told me it was a bad connection or a poss. short or something...

Its being heat checked, there is not even coverage over the whole fuse so the burnt areas are where all the current in going. I have that problem. Get bigger washers and make sure the fuse sits flat.

Edit: And the the fuse should still be fine as far as integrity goes, i can get pix of my fuse, its not that bad but you can tell.

put bigger washers to spread the load across more of the fuse. And i didnt really fix it, im changing the way my wiring is set-up so its no longer a concern.
