I've noticed that if I have the A/C fan switch on high (position 3), there
is a tendency to melt the fuse and fuse holder.
Try this,

Find the fuse....probably 2 from the right ( next to steering cover   25A or
30A)
turn the fan to high
feel how hot the fuse gets.....WOW!

I have since replaced the fuse holder due to melting and do not EVER go to
the high position

Check it out guys it could save your Van and your life.
