Description of the problem	Air conditioning works fine, as long as the vehicle is moving. When stopped at traffic lights or intersections, the a/c gets warm, as if the condenser is not working. When starting up again, it gets cold after a bit of time. Searched the internet, and found this is a problem that occurs often, and many said check the fuse #39. On aug. 1, i checked the fuse, and found that the plastic and metal parts of the fuse had melted onto the spot it was plugged into. All of the other fuses seem to be fine, but there is a tiny chunk of metal i cannot remove from the fusebox to plug in another fuse, nor do i want to plug in another fuse, as i don't know why the previous one melted. I am not sure if this is covered in any recalls. Also, when i tried to have the truck inspected, it failed for the check engine light, and there are several recalls listed in the possible cause list for the code that registered in the inspection machine.
