Electrical Strangeness


Dear All

I have a 81 Coupe and recently, the electric radiator fan has been
intermittantly not working. This has resulted in a couple of near-overheat
situations and lucky I caught them intime and switched off the engine. On
investigation, the fuse in the fusebox (25A) is fine but the area around
the fuse has begun to melt a little. This melting has caused poor contact
between the fuse and the fusebox contacts and thus, a break in the circuit
causing the fan to stop. When I fiddle with the fuse, the fan starts
again.

Any ideas why the fusebox is getting hot ?

Thanks

Rob
