Blower resistor plug wire melted/HOT! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I noticed when I was cleaning the engine compartment that the plug for the Blower resistor on the evaporator box got Hot. The Dark blue wire has some brown discoloration to it right were it goes into the plug itself. With the blower running the plug & resistor portion gets real Hot. I checked the fuse & it had a 25amp I think it calls for a 20. I stuck a 15 in it until I can get to the parts store. It still gets really Hot. I'm going to have to replace the plug, the plastic got to Hot & broke off showing the terminals. Is the resistor bad?
