This was an engineering oversight. The wiring size leading to fuse # 7 is incorrect, this causes an excessive amount of heat that will cause a fuse and fuse holder with dirty or corroded contacts to overheat & melt. If the fuse and socket are in good condition regular cleaning will prevent damage. Damaged fuse holders need to be bypassed with a heavy duty in-line replacement.
