Early this Memorial Day morning, while the family sleeps, I'm thinkin' about.....FUSES.

1. What are some effective ways to clean off the fuse holder contacts? I'm thinking a wire brush about the size and shape of a piper cleaner or some sort of sand paper pencil.

2. How many of you go to the trouble of replacing all old fuses and cleaning all contacts simply on principle? In my cars, they range from 20-26 years old.

3. Can the symptom of a bad fuse and/or contact be something OTHER THAN a system not working or working intermittently? Essentially I'm asking whether a bad fuse connection is ever known to produce "weird" symptoms.

Thanks.
