Any where there is high resistance it will create heat. So if there is a =
bad connection at one of the fuse terminals the connector will get warm. =
And since it is not a dead short it may not blow the fuse.

Pull the fuses out and check the they are clean connections, the clips =
are holding fuse tight in place.

First, pull the fuse--when it's cold--and check its resistance.
