The plastic fuse body will soften before the metal prongs will discolor. If you have a high resistence, eventually that circuit will fail. You may even have to replace the fuseholder.
I don't like this fuse, at all:
You have a fuse that doesn't look like it is seated well, the wire end is frayed, the wire insulation is discolored from heat...
Make sure you use good fuses. Some of them are crap. You have several different types in there.

The appearance of the circled fuse is very common. It's a 25 or 30amp A/C fuse and provides 12v for both the evaporator fan AND the front condenser fan. Too much current for that single circuit. A lot of folks have split the load to two fuses to prevent what you see in the pic! Plus a third inline fuse to the front condenser fan to prevent a known FIRE hazard!
