I find that it is easier to solder a wire to a fuse if you take a 
jeweler's file and file the end of the fuse down until it is brass 
color. Then quickly tin the brass end and tin the end of the wire, then 
solder together. If you are afraid of too much heat, have your can of 
freeze spray handy to spray on after the soldering is done.
