That was the idea. I know that some of our members just go to the New Posts section and look for the red dots. I rarely go to the forums anymore!

I just checked my fuse box and I found that every fuse and circuit breaker was not completly seated. Great advice to check them...!!

I finally got around to checking the underhood fuses today.

Just about every one of them was loose. None of them were at risk of falling out, but they definintely were not seated properly.

Add me to the loose fuse list. Just about every one was loose, in both places. Will have to add the one on the battery in the back, to my list. I did note that the engine crank relay was so loose, that one good bump and it would have completely fallen out.

Back in the 80's we had a problem with the Apple Computer where the memory chips would work their way loose, it was called chip creep. I'm surprise 20 years later we are seeing the same thing in our automobile.

Guilty as charged.

As for this topic, I'll be adding 'fuse inspection' to my list of things to knock out this weekend.

Yep, I am grateful for this being a sticky thread...most of mine were less than fully seated, and with the rough Boston roads I travel, those fuses did not need a head start popping out.

I thought I read somewhere (maybe here?) that someone suggested putting something like a foam pad underneath the lid to put a small amount of pressure on the fuses to help keep them pressed down.

Anyone try that already? Suggestions/comments?

Has anyone had electrical issues due to the loose fuses? With all the "me toos" I have to ask that.
