The old ceramic or plastic type open fuses suck.
I drove 35 miles with the engine intermittently shutting off ... thought I had a loose wire to the coil or something. Couldn't find any bad wiring, but I did make it home.
I got up the next morning and the car wouldn't start
When I got around to checking fuses, found this one (looking intact) on the relay board in the engine compartment. The tit fell off
after I removed it.
