what the shit. two fuses melted into my fuse box. Both the blower motor fuses, melted right in there and I can't get them out.

What do I do in a situation such as this? How important is the blower motor, and how hard is it to replace the fuse box if needed?

ugh wtf...

ummmm the blower motor is pretty important if you want a/c or heater

ok, I managed to save the first blower motor fuse outlet. The second one is done for I think. So my question is, will everything function with only one 15a blower fuse?

Were the blower motors working when you noticed the fuses? If the fuses are melted, then it sounds like your blower motors are weak. It wasn't a short, otherwise you would have just blown the fuses.

Even if you can replace both fuses, the odds of you having the same problem down the road are pretty good. Are you sure you have the correct size fuses for the motors?

yeah, they are rated 15a each. I did have some cheapo ones in there though...maybe that was the problem.

For starters, there is only one (1) blower motor. You guys putting an 's' on the end need to be slapped.

There's two fuses because the motor is powered by two separate leads that are spliced together at the motor, creating a 30A circuit. For both fuses to go the motor had to have seized up (from water intrusion or debris), but they should have blown instead of melting. I'd replace the motor for certain no matter what, then test both circuits checking for resistance before doing any repairs to the wiring.
