This 2 way FM compustar is 1 year old and been installed in the car for about a year now. Nothing has ever been touched since and all of a sudden it stopped working. I go check the fuse and its literally exploded and melted. Weird part is that both 12V powers from the compustar are going to the same 12V power source and only 1 of the fuses went. Any ideas what could make a fuse literally explode and melt seeing its been fine for a year now
