melted fuse
1991 Olds Toronado. aftermarket remote starter, key less entry and alarm.
this unit has 2 hot wires coming directly from battery feed. they are both fused separetly with 30 amp fuses.
one of the fuses melts but does not blow! and it only seems to do it when I use the remote start.
why would a fuse melt but not blow?
curious to know what you guys think. (gals to).

There was a recall for a bunch of fuses that would pass current well in excess of their rating.

I wonder how many are floating around out there, waiting for a chance to burn someone'* car.

I'm thinking I'll start paying attention to that too. When I could buy Buss fuses everywhere I didn't ever give quality (of my fuses) a second thought. Now that it'* harder to find them (instead of all the cheap stuff everywhere) I probably should start paying attention.
