Hello, I am having an issue where every now and then my tail lights, dashboard lights, and side markers will turn off. Often it will go back to normal or I can wiggle around the fuse and it will fix it. However, this time I was not able to fix it and had to drive 2 hours on the highway with no tail lights. I fixed it briefly, but I slammed my door and they shut off again and I couldn't get it back. I replaced all the fuses but it did not help.
Also when I wiggle the fuse around (the top right on, for parking lamps- fuse 1) it feels "crunchy" and I can see sparks in there. Plus when I take the fuse out it is HOT and burns my hand, and a few fuses have had the plastic melt on them from the heat. I am wondering if something is stuck inside the fuse box or something? If so would I just have to replace the fuse box, or take it apart, if possible?
The burning fuse worries me, and also driving at night without tail lights seems dangerous so this is something I would really like to fix
