Will dielectric grease minimize the problem with oxidation on these =

Dave-
Glad it worked out. I was losing those instruments and devices =
intermittently among other issues.
Once I realized they were all on the same circuit, with some =
manipulation and they would come back only to go again. So I replaced =
the fuse box. This resolved about 95% of the issues.
Corrosion is maybe too strong a word - but oxidation will certainly =
occur over time and impact the contacts.
Best of Luck-
John

Thanks, John. Your thought process on this is quite good. It turned =
out that the problem was solved this afternoon, by simply removing the =
fuse, lightly sanding its metal ends, then reinserting it into the fuse =
clips! I knew something was quite there when I measured zero volts on =
one end of the fuse and 12.65 on the other! Prior to that, the heater =
fan, the turn signals, the wipers, the brake lights and the two gauges =
didn't work. I re-inserted that fuse and it's like 20,000 volts into =
Frankenstein's monster. It LIVES! Being as the fuse box is relatively =
new, as are the fuses, it was hard to imagine (or SEE) any corrosion =
that could cause such chaos! All from one green circuit fuse! It's been =
a long tome since everything worked so having everything back at the =
same time is like having a party with old, long-lost friends! LOL!
Special kudos to IM Sloane for helping me think through this latest =
'adventure'....
Thanks for responding,
Dave

Those 2 gauges are on the same power circuit. Have someone sit in =
