Hi Tricky, is the fuse getting hot because the holder, connecting wires or screws are loose ? It may be arcing causing it to get hot, you can normally see damage done if this is the case.
It may well be drawing that much current that the internal wire (in the fuse itself) is glowing, not a dead short but a much higher current than it should be.

Try it with the lights switched off. Does it heat up. If so it shouldn't because there wont be any current flow.
