melted fuse for radiator fan 99 Beetle

[wahu]

My 99 Beetle was overheating. The fan was not working. When I checked the fuse in the circuit box on top of the battery it was melted all around the fuse. Any ideas on what caused this?

Is that the same thing as the auxilary fan control unit? and how would I know if it is bad or not?

from the fuse being melted or the fans can also cause the fuse to melt
