Hey Erik, The same thing happened to me a few months ago. Except I smelled smoke and melting plastic! It turned out that on the left side of the driver's side footspace, there is a nylon fuse holder with a green wire coming out one end and a brown wire coming out the other end. That whole assembly melted on me, and the hot spring burned a hole in my DMCH floormat. It is a glass style fuse. I replaced the whole thing with a blade fuse holder and a 10 amp fuse from Radio Shack and have had no more issues. Good luck. By the way...that fuse holder might not exist in your car, I know people who do not have them in their '83s.
