[DeTomaso] How do you keep fuses clean?

[boyd casey]

I tried finding the glass tube fuses. It was next to impossible. I was able
to find a few but never enough to replace all the fuses. You can find the
"ordinary glass tube fuses" but you need the "bullet " shaped ones. I had
the most luck at Auto Zone but I finally gave in and bought the Pantera
electronics ATO fuse box. Besides the LED feature which is really cool (An
LED lights as soon as a fuse burns out so you immediately know which fuse
has blown) and the window fuses are included instead of having to open
the separate mini fuse box for them. It was reluctant to spend the money but
now that I have done it I wish I had done it sooner. I used to have lights
go on and off from slamming a door and all sorts of other intermittent
issues ( dash lights going on and off  etc.)Boyd
