Had a faultless 150 mile round trip recently and the car performed beautifully, however I had the sidelights and dipped beam on for about 40 minutes of the trip when I got home and run my fingers along the fuses having removed the lid around the middle of the box it was hot, probably best described as a fresh cup of tea hot, no melting or anything but it just made me think how hot is too hot? Should they even get warm? I spent some time a couple of years ago cleaning and pinching the contacts and making sure that all the fuses were the correct and amperage and also the correct length. Am I heading towards a fuse box meltdown, or am I worrying unnecessarily?
