If you didn't know that this problem existed, it would be a bear to diagnose. Intermittent electrical failures are always the worst.

Condition
Various electrical failures or malfunctions of components with circuitry containing a 15 or 20 ampere fuse (not
mini-fuse).
The failure can be sporadic, and an open circuit can only be detected by pressing on the plug contacts of the fuse
while checking continuity within the fuse.

Technical Background
Hairline crack (connection of the fuse wire
to the plug contact - see Figure 1) within
the plastic housing of the fuse.
