Sounds like its been trying to run a hefty circuit then, trace the wiring dude see where it goes. Find where it goes in the fuse box, might be feed someone has added due to a failed circuit in the past.

40A still isn't really enough IMO, but, there could be anything wrong with it. You could have a short or anything.

Could do with some serious inspection by the sounds of it
