I just had the same problem. I twisted the contacts of the fuse a bit to put some tension on them. Other then pulling the female end out of the fuse block to pinch it together. Anyone know how to do that?

You can go to Radio Shack and buy a couple of fuse taps. Fit them around the legs of your fuse, and it will fit much tighter in the socket and should stay.

Had that problem before, I put a thin coat of solder on the fuse contacts, made a spare at the same time.
