another wide variance between my experience and Herr Doktor's. I almost
never have a fuse problem, including places from N WI, to the gulf
coast, and Hawaii. If a fuse blows, I fix the problem and change the
fuse. if there are electric gremlins, i turn the fuses or take them out
and check them and put them back in. If they are bad, the pieces fall
out when you take them out or you can visibly see they are blown.

They are a bullet shaped fuse, with a copper or lead element that is
also the contact surface. They tend to corrode and can cause
infuriating intermittent electrical problems. How often to change...?
I dunno. I change them out when I get a car. Maybe every 4-5 years? If
you live near salt air maybe more often....
