    If the fuse is loose in its socket, then it mat not be making good contact with the circuitry and therefore will cause intermitent operation. The position of the fuse box under the dash is not very convenient for fuse replacement. You could try to lower the fuse box off of the bolts. This is rather easy once you get the nuts that hold it to the dash removed. Unless you need to remove the fuse box comletely, it is not neccesary to remove the wiring from it. Did your fuse just suddenly start to vibrate loose or did you do any work around there and accidentally pulled on it. You say that any time you turn your signals on, the whole dash goes blank, yet if you reinsert the fuse all the way, it starts working?

    A little more detail could help. You may want to try and get the fuse box out of the dash and have a better look at it.

    Hope this helps.

    nah the fuse is all the way in yeah sometimes it starts to viberate real fast but its still in there and the way i fix it is by putting a peice of cardboard between 2 fuses and it stays in place for a while but ima try that lowering the fuse box to see what happens.

    BTW, when I said to lower the fuse box I didn't mean that it would be done permanently, only to have a better look at it. The fuse box sits on two studs so it would be rather hard to reposition it to a lower area. If you don't want to remove the fuse box for inspection you can get to the fuses from the bottom but you will have limited access.

    Just clariying myself. Don't want to confuse anyone more than necessary.
