Roll the fuses in their holders. The contacts corrode due to moisture and lose actual contact. The fuses look fine but are not actually conducting electricity. It's one of the joys of e21 ownership!

Get yourself a hazard switch to keep as a spare if one comes up too.

They're the source of many electrical gremlins! Only a five minute job (if that) to replace though.
