Jay,
Are you sure that the problem is in the connectors and not with
grounding?You did say that by twisting the connector you got the current
flowing again. Maybe a little oxidation that is occuring between two
dissimilar metals?
I coat the connectors with dielectric grease before snapping them in the
sockets. I have yet to have a problem.
Regards...Ian

While we're on the subject of electrical systems, does anybody but me have |

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 |
