When I was working at a Yamaha dealer here in Dallas a long time ago I saw a lot of melted fuse boxes. We found that it was most often caused by corrosion in the fuse holder itself. Sometimes the connectors that the fuse plugs into would also become loose and cause the fuse tabs to overheat. Very seldom did I see this caused by a wiring problem. Wiring problems will almost always blow the fuse instead of overheating the connector. I see this quite often in cars also.

Check the condition of the three phase connector from the alternator very carefully. I have personal experience with this. It's not a pretty sight to see your alternator windings glowing red.....
