Bora/Golf electrical problems

[elga]

HI:

I'm new around here, I have two a golf MK4 2000 and a Jetta 2005 both with the same problem, "THE MAIN FUSE BOX MELTS OUT SOME FUSES".

Here is the explanation:

For the Golf: always melt the the first green fuse (cooling fans fuse) from left to right, I already take it to the pros and they say that there is to much resistance on that fuse bot nothing more they add a cable there to dissipate the resistance.

For the Jetta: always melt the the first metal fuse from the left to the right the one that came directly from the generator/alternator, it is just happens yesterday and actually I can't believe that it is just happening this to the jetta too.

Note: in both cases the fuses weren't blow away, they just melt the plastic that surround it and the plastic of the main fuse box that's holds them.

PLEASE IF SOME ONE HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT IS REALLY GOING ONE HERE JUST LET ME KNOW. I KNOW THAT IT IS ANOTHER POST ABOUT THIS BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY UPDATE.

Appreciate

It is because the connections are dirty/corroded. You need to clean all connections to the fuses and the fuses with a wire brush. They need to be kept clean and free from damp. You can use vaseline or battery terminal grease to keep them clean.

Martin thanks for the speedy answer, but are you sure that it is only corrosion or it is some thing else. If it is corrotion do I need to clean the fuses and the and the terminal of the cable that goes to the alternator/generator? for the jetta and for tha golf do I clean the or check the terminals on the cooling fans?

one more time thanks.
