To avoid problems, it's a good idea to remove all fuses and relays, clean the contacts, then coat the contacts with dielectric grease and reinstall. I would redo this every year.

You can get dielectric grease at any auto parts store.
thank you sir, unfortunately they're closed, so I'll just clean the fuses an relays for today. what is the best way to clean them?
