Bill, I tried cleaning the contacts on my old roadster but this didn't solve
the problem. I must admit that I did not use vinegar however. Maybe that is
the secret. I did everything that I could think of but to no avail.
In the old days, when roadsters could be found in a junk yard, I made a point
to look for the problem in these cars - I'd say that 90% of those that were in
the yards showed the same signs of overheating of the headlight fuss. It's
interesting too, I have already received several notes from individuals with
the same problem today. I passed your remedy along to them.
I haven't gotten to the digest since I submitted my stories to see if there
has been further discussion but I think it would be a good topic for the
list.

The problem is there is resistance between the fuse clips and the fuse ends.
Cleaning with vinegar is recommended and then replace the fuses with new ones.
Anytime there is heat at a connector it is telling you there is high
resistance at that point.
