Melting fuses 200 1992

Hello all:

My '92 245 has started melting fuses recently-- the most recent was this AM, when #6 toasted (fuel pump), causing a burning plastic smell. It did not melt enough to cause it to fail, but it wouldn't have taken much more... Previously I believe #7 also melted in a similar manner. My fuel pump sounds healthy and I haven't had any trouble with poor running when low on gas, so I am assuming the transfer pump in the tank is fine too. The other fuse was related to brake lighting (I'm not certain it was #7 because I replaced it in the dark with a very dim flashlight).

I tried a site search, but the results were sparse and didn't seem to describe my situation. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, how did you solve it? I am concerned that it will leave my wife and kids stranded on the side of the road...

Thanks!
