I'll second that.
Make sure to replace both the fuse and the socket to correct it.

Did you, perchance, drive through a salt-water flooded area after Sandy? |

I have this here

with a 20 A fuse in it, I think I was using it for another project but it's been sitting on the table for about 3-4 years now, I might put this on when I get the time. |

Littleton, CO | Pretty much anything that gets exposed to the elements will get some kind of corrosion, especially if they are sealed well enough to hold in any leaks. I usually use a dab of dielectric grease on those kinds of electrical fittings. |
