Blade fuse oxidation?

[Kevin D Pem]

Added note:
Some greases have silver suspended in it, and enhance connection. I will not offer names because I would have to research it again. As I recall heat sink grease does.

Use Deoxit spray, it dries on the surface creating a protective barrier like grease but won't attract/accumulate dust & debris like grease can.

Ok. Cleaned all of the fuses with Deoxit, then put a thin coating of anti- oxidation grease on them.

Awning problem stiil exists. I think the front awning arm piston needs replacing. I have to keep lubricating it to get the awning to operate smoothly. After a while it gets real noisy. My thought is when the motor experiences too much resistance, it shuts off and needs to be reset. Thus removing the fuse and putting it back in restores motor operation. Will be watching this.

I use CRC Electrical Contact cleaner on anything where an electrical connection involved. It's amazing how many times it cures the problem, amazing stuff. I use it on outdoor Game cameras battery contacts a lot for example.

One thing about it, if thats the problem you will be the first to know. I think I'd change it. If it doesn't cure the problem keep the old one for a spare. You probably can get one on AMAZON cheaper that a repair shop would diagnose it, say nothing about replacing it.
