Electronic parts stores still carry glass fuses...they are still used by most manufacturers of electronic components.

But they won't work for vehicle applications. The creamic ones you have now have a conical apex at each side to allow them to seat firmly in the fuse housings. The glass fuses are smooth and flat at the top and will dislodge easily, especially since motion and vibration are necessary evils.

Just invest in a set of ceramic fuses and replace ALL of them. Over time, these do corrode and lose contact. Many here have done that, and marveled at how many electrical anomalies dissapeared!
