Ducati, DO NOT get rid of that fuse box.... We ARE going to want to examine it further after you saying " It appears that the fuses were rotating in their holders and ovalated the connectors."
What do you think was making the fuses rotate ?
I can not find ovalated in the dictionary, do you mean ovulated, were they female ? If you had female (short) fuses I can understand you having troubles with them. Greg
