Fuses will degrade with use and abuse in time. I've seen this more than once in industrial settings where even the high resistance of a fuse would shut down a system. I found mirrored systems where we found one fuse blown and pulled the fuse to check in it's doppelganger and found very high resistance. The new replacement fuses were minimal resistance.
Pictureguy has a good discussion of this in the Tweakers Asylum.
