Fuse Box on 1986 Nissan?

This has got to be a common problem among these trucks. I have a 1986 kingcab. Several fuses are loose in the fuse box. It looks like the contact points for the fuses have bent so that the fuses will not fit tightly. I had to build up the contact points on the fuel pump fuse to keep it in and the fuel pump running. I really don't like this solution.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what can be done about it? Several other fuses are loose as well.
Thanks

I can't see a way to do that. You would have to bend the contact points in the fuse box for each fuse beyond each other before they would spring back to a position that would enable them to hold tightly to the fuses.
By the way, thanks for the info on the starter relay. I will check that out. Also, Zane Grey is the name of a well known western author way back when. Does your screen name have anything to do with him?
