It should be a part of your annual maintenance/startup program to:
1. remove the fuses
2. using a scotch-brite pad, clean the fuse ends and the fuse clips
3. using a pair of needle nose pliers, gently squeeze the fuse clips together
4. reinstall the fuses

This eliminates a significant number of electrical problems, especially if you have a six wire regulator.

OR......
Replace the fuse block entirely with spade fuses and never have to worry about it again!

Never thought about spade fuses. Can you pick up a block for those at your local auto store?

Nice find JR! I especially like the sealed cover and the external blade connections.
