Re: Proper Blown Fuse
Could be the root cause.
Maybe the original mess up caused enough heat to damage something that's now finally had enough. Metal contacts heated up enough can lose their spring tension, for example.
If that's all, then a fuse and a solenoid should be enough to get her happy again

By the looks of that, I'd say that the Fuse was loose in the connector. The burn mark in the middle is where it was loose. It would have been arching, pitting the contact even more and gradually making the electrical connection progressively worse.
Possibly.
Possibly.

Re: Proper Blown Fuse
My last one of these was because of a trapped wire, it only shorted out when I went over a big bump.
It was black wire, black bracket and black bolt.
Had to park up get the Mrs to rescue me and went back the next day.
Took about 40mims to realise what it was
