Default What would cause two relays located under console to heat up?

I plugged in the E6 fuse located under the passenger seat and I heard a clicking noise. The noise came from two yellow fuses or relays located under the box in the console. The two relays or fuse are made by Seiman part number V23134-B52-x130 on top, it has the number R6B8 12v. What could be causing them to heat up. Both fuses or relays are hot. I unplugged one and the windows refused to go up. I don't know what the other square yellow fuse or relay controls. Is this normal? Would changing them solve the problem? Any help would be appreciatled.

I'm experiencing the same thing with my 96 4.0. My A/C quit working and when I checked out the relays I found that they were so hot I couldn't touch them. One even discolored the yellow plastic and melted the plastic around the female slot that it pluggs into. What's going on there? Is there a more heavy duty relay to use? Even so, heat that melts the plastic of the fuse box doesn't sound right to me . Anyone have any insight?
