Yes
I have seen several fuse that appear ok, and in fact are defective.
The best way to test, is with a computer safe test light, there not cheap but if you want to get serious about auto electric you need one.
To test fuses, you are generally safe with the cheap kind.
1) Plug in or clip on your test light. 2) Test your test light against a known good source for voltage. 3) Turn on the ignition switch. 4) Probe both sides of your fuse, the results should be the same. Note that one or two may be cold on both sides (or negative if you have a computer safe tester) They generally power the interior lights. 5) If you find a fuse that is cold on one side and hot on the other, you have found the monster. 6) Replace it with the same type and size.
IF all tests well and you have glass fuses, test the metal clip on both sides that it clips into. They may require cleaning, and careful bending from water/ rust damage. If you have plug in fuses, check the integrity of the fuse holder.
I have seen all types and sizes of fuse, especially glass, that appear good, but are blown.

Best way to check a fuse is take it out of the circuit and test its resistance. A good fuse will have very low resistance (less then 1 ohm). A bad fuse will measure "Overload" on your meter. You can get a cheap meter from and local hardware store for ten bucks. Even bring the fuse with you. The guy at the store will probably check it for free for you. Good luck.
A blown fuse in a house can look like a blackened or charred spot on the fuse itself. It can also appear melted or broken. To identify a blown fuse, you can visually inspect the fuse for any signs of damage or use a multimeter to test for continuity.
A blown house fuse may look blackened or have a broken filament inside. To identify it, check the fuse box for any fuses that appear damaged or have a visible break. You can also use a multimeter to test the continuity of the fuse to determine if it is blown.
Has the AC fuse blown in your system?
Remove the blown fuse. Replace it with a new fuse.
Check the fuse in your furnace to see if it has blown.
To determine if a fuse is blown, visually inspect the fuse for a break in the metal strip inside. If the metal strip is broken, the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
A fuse is a deliberate weak link which will be blown if there is a power overload. When you blow a fuse, take the blown fuse out and throw it away as you would a blown light bulb, and replace it with another fuse of the same type. * In the old-timey fuse boxes a penny could be substituted for a fuse, but a penny is too strong to be blown, and the next overload will burn the house down.
It is called a blown fuse.
Either blown bulbs or blown fuse check for blown fuse first under hood in fuse box labled taillights
To determine if an AC fuse is blown, visually inspect the fuse for a break in the metal filament inside. Additionally, use a multimeter to test for continuity across the fuse. If there is no continuity, the fuse is likely blown and needs to be replaced.
simply having a blown fuse would not cause the engine to run hot. But, it depends on what fuse is blown. a fuse blown for the cooling fans would make it run hot.
To determine which fuse is blown in your house, you can visually inspect the fuses in the fuse box. Look for any fuses that appear to be discolored, have a broken filament, or are visibly damaged. Additionally, you can use a multimeter to test the continuity of each fuse to see if it is functioning properly. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with this process, it is recommended to consult a professional electrician for assistance.
