Those fuses decay with time. the metal becomes sort of porous and crumbly. Also the sprung contacts can build up with corrosion from the fusewire, thus creating a bad contact. Try rotating the fuses to clear corrosion, and lift out the fuse and check the fuse wire too. I replaced the lot of them on my car.
Its a simple fix to rule out before trying more major items.
