Why does my fog light fuse keep falling out?
Hey guys, I found a 10 amp fuse on the floor of the car under the fuse box area and since the fog lights were missing a fuse i put it in there, and then my fog lights were were working fine, after 2-3 days of driving the fuse fell out again, and ever since it falls out every few days i don't even use the fog lamps except to test if they work when i re-install the fuse. Every time it falls out it is intact not blown, what can i do to keep it in there, I'm fully seating it in all the way. Also how many amps should the fog lamp fuse be?

The fuse box terminals don't have enough drag. Someone was ramming the fuse in and out and wiggling it too much, or was reaming it with a test light. You can fix it by dropping the fuse box, removing the terminals from the box and re-bending them back into shape so they spring against the fuse like they should.

sometimes just getting between the copper part and the plastic with a jewelers screwdriver will do it
