we are talking about the one on top of the battery aren't we? will it be obvious if it is that fuse box broken????

 

[acidstrato]

yes, it could be just a blown fuse, broken circuit, some corrosion or part of the casing melted

check it out, give it a clean if needed, check all fuses and check that all the nuts are done tight it should be easy to spot if there is a problem there

It's actually an issue with drawing too much current through the fuse and it being in a non ventilated area (hence fuse doesn't pop, but it's casing melts).

Mine did this again today. I removed a lump of charcoal resembling a fuse. Pictures on ther way to SEAT.
