Can you give me the fuse number (from the owner manual)? I am having similar trouble... my A/C will work fine for a day or two, then quit for a day or two... then work for a day or two, etc.etc. I've never heard of this melting-fuse holder problem, and I have a suspicion that it's causing my problem too.

The load switch is supposed to cut-off the A/C compressor if the psi goes below 10. I had plenty of freon and pressure, but the switch was still shutting off. Got billed $20 for the part and $105 for the labor. Not too bad... my A/C blows cold enough to make ice cubes now - hurray! KSandbergFL 1995 Mystique YA, V6, 5sp 199.6k miles
