some of the fuse boxes had crimped on wires
while other plugged on. The little clips that hold
the fuses are usually not tight i nthe plastic as they
'clip in' the box part of it. Just use a small 22-38
caliber rifle cleaning brush (brass and small) of a piece
of 320 or finer sand paper to clean up the fuse contacts
Then coat them with dielectric grease before re-inserting
the fuses.

Subject: '76 1500 Fuse Box woes
> I'm having trouble with intermittent functioning of my turn signals and
running lights. I'm pretty sure it's the fuse box, because if I wiggle the
middle fuse sometimes they will work again (I've also seen a little spark at
the fuse when I jiggle it). The bracket holding the fuse is a little loose,
and I've wedged it tight (or so I think, anyway). So, questions for anyone
who may know and care - is there anything I should try before replacing the
fuse box, and if not, where in the world can I find a fuse box? Thanks all,
