Me too! I agree with Paul and Joe.
The fuse box and poor connections between the fuses and the clips can create
all kinds of intermittent problems. If left alone, the clips start sparking
when contact is made and lost. Along with the little sparks comes heat, and
soon, the plastic fuse block holding the clips in place melts, moving the
clips even further from the fuses. By that point, its time for a new fuse
block, both elusive, and a pain to have to install, as you have to pull the
whole front harness' connections and run them through the new block.
The female connectors are another common problem, many of them over 30 years
old and exposed to all kinds of weather. Replacement or at least a little
remediation will help prevent dark nights being a problem.
