I was concerned about this after hearing from others about fires etc. in
that area.  Mine still had the fuse (fusible link?) but it got too hot
to touch when in use.  The connections were slightly corroded and one
was loose.  I carefully cleaned the contacts and wahsers with 600 grit
sandpaper and reassembled tightly.  As a n extra precaution I drilled a
tidy pattern of vent holes in the cover panel below and above this area.
 Still is pretty hot, but I think it is much cooler than before.

Hi in my case I have found that on very hot days and after 20-25 minutes
=
of
operating on high speed, 4 on the knob, the wire in the D pillar before
=
the
fuse that feeds juice to the fan gets hot and trips the fuse. A while =
back
the original fuse got so hot that it basically melted the plastic holder
=
so
I replaced it with a resettable fuse. The interesting thing is that the
wires after the fuse going to the fan do not get very hot. I think my
problem has to do with fans getting older and drawing more amps than =
normal
in high speed. Any suggestions?? Should I replace the wire that gets =
hot
with next gauge wire?? All other speeds, 3,2,1 work just fine.=20
