While we're on the subject of electrical systems, does anybody but me have a
problem with the fuse holders becoming periodically non-conductive?
It seems like once, sometimes twice a year I have to go into the headlight
and clean the pointed fuse ends and holders, because something (usually the
headlight, but sometimes the signals, horn or ignition) has quit working.
The components don't appear "corroded" per se, just lightly tarnished.
Usually just twisting the appropriate fuse in its socket will temporarily
cure the problem, but the fuse has to be removed and the holders scraped
with a pick or similar sharp object to achieve a (relatively) long term
solution.
Spring tension on the fuse holders seems to be good and tight, I don't think
that's the problem. If anyone else has experienced this, please advise as to
how you handle it. It isn't a serious problem, but it can be inconvenient,
and annoying.
