Yes, it's often surprising as to the issues that a grotty fusebox can cause. Replacing* mine immediately cured several electrical problems, the strangest being that operating the headlight flasher resulted in no headlight flash (despite the click of the relay), but also knocked out the entire circuit that also runs the brake lights, but without blowing the fuse..... Ron's excellent advice came to the rescue in solving that one
*in case you haven't seen it, there's a write-up on Ron's site about reconditioning the fuseboxes. I didn't have time to do that as my car is used daily.
