I haven't checker that yet, but it is happening under such
predictable circumstances that I highly doubt it is the product of a
loose connection. Plus, all the other wires and interior components
are in really good shape, so I would be pretty surprised to find any
heavy wear behind the fuse box.

I will check that though, thanks.







The goal is to overcome the deliberate nature of the process.
