Fuse Box Quick Fix

Hi Richard,

a quick way to solve bad contacts in the fuse box is to just bend the tabs that hold the fuses a little, so that the fuses fit a little tighter. I've had that problem with blinkers, headlights, wipers and what have you and that has always solved the problem. Cleaning the tabs where they contact the fuse with a little fine grained sandpaper or scotchbrite helps too. If it wasn't that it was almost always, as you said, a dirty connector or a bad ground.

regards
Bob
