[Healeys] Fuses

[R. Lindsay]

Thank you very much to those on this list that replied to my electrical issue!!

I found the problem (I hope) - a loose spade connector.  Everything seems to be working like it should - no hot wires. 

Again, thank for your help!  This list is amazing!!

Both cars use the European style ceramic fuses with aluminum exterior strips. I fiddled with ground connections, fuses connections, etc, etc. with mixed results. There was light corrosion everywhere. It was very frustrating and difficult trying to clean so many connections by mechanical means.
