    Fuses coming loose in fuse box?

    Must have something to do with the bouncing over waves etc.
    From time to time they back out a little and I have to reach under the dash and try to push them back in while running.
    I lose power to the graphs usually.
    Any way to tighten the fuse holders themselves?
    Any suggestions short of replacing the whole fuse box?

    Can't say I've ever heard Of that and nO way would I do that while running. That is super dangerous and I'll leave it at that.

    with the batteries disconnected remove the loose fuses and bend the holders in the block.

    not as bad as it sounds, in arms reach without looking under, just have to feel for the one that backed out, I have long arms I guess.
    would never let it be dangerous, I get more worried losing the ability to see what depth it is.

    Have you actually had success doing this?
    Thanks for the idea, I thought of trying this but also thought it might break the plastic on the fuses.
    Will give it a try next time.

    I've done it on normal wire connections but it should be the same. Inside the fuse block should like the pic below. It sounds like they are just stretched out.
