Why does my fuse look like this?

Looks like salt-water corrosion to me...

I'll second that.

Make sure to replace both the fuse and the socket to correct it.

Did you, perchance, drive through a salt-water flooded area after Sandy?

Sorry, had to ask. Must be road salt, then.

I have this here

»www.radioshack.com/produ ··· =2102783

with a 20 A fuse in it, I think I was using it for another project but it's been sitting on the table for about 3-4 years now, I might put this on when I get the time.

Pretty much anything that gets exposed to the elements will get some kind of corrosion, especially if they are sealed well enough to hold in any leaks. I usually use a dab of dielectric grease on those kinds of electrical fittings.
