[DeTomaso] How do y'all polish your fuses?

[Richard Barkley]

Charles,
This may not apply to you since you are in Europe, but hear in the 
states there are a couple of inexpensive products to keep electrical 
connections working. I cleaned and coated all my fuses about 13 years 
ago and haven't had a problem since.

I have used OX-Gard with great success on the fuse box (actually all the 
electrical connections). I found it at Home Depot but it doesn't seem to 
be there now. Here it is at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-OX-100B-Anti-Oxidant-Compound/dp/B000BODU66
searching for Anti-Oxidant Compound at Home Depot I found:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ideal-Noalox-0-5-oz-Anti-Oxidant-Joint-Compound-30-024/202276207
Which is probably quite similar. It's also available at Amazon. Either, 
or something similar, should be available at most hardware stores.

In my experience after doing Zonkey's restoration, the fuses with the 
most problems were those which had changed over to driving relays (like 
the headlights). It seems that very low current circuits are more likely 
to be a problem.
