Fuse Box on 1986 Nissan?

[papasmith]

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

remove the fuse and very carefully bend them back into postion..

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?

Thanks

they are copper and will bend easily..
use a set of needle nose pliers..

i repeat ...carefully.
