Thanks to all who provided input to solving the problem.  Turned out 
the fuse holders were both getting warm with less than a minute of 
keydown.  This was after opening the holders, removing the fuses, 
replacing the fuses and closing the holders.

Now the fuse holders have been removed and wires from the power 
supply go directly to the connector on that mates with the one on the 746.
