The contacts that hold the fuses are pretty weak, new ones keep them in place with 2-3 times the force of the old ones. Replace them and you're done. LUCAS, King of darkness ! The headlight switch ? have you tried pushing it in only from the most bottom point you can ? This works for my switch. (At least until I will find the time to take it out and to fix it !) Elvis Boy was she wrong! She didn't know that in the future, I would own a car that would require me to be able to quickly identify that exact smell. That being said, I have several electrical issues. The fuse for the low-beam headlights has started to melt, and the headlight switch is damaged (i.e., wont stay in). I don't use the headlights much at all, so is this a coincidence or could these problems be related? My plan is this: 1. new headlight switch 2. all new fuses 3. clean all fuse connections 4. clean all relays and relay connections
