Many reports are similar to yours. Had one fail once & threw it away.

A metal/glass fuse, metal fuse holding device, with screws, all expose to oil, rain, humidity, & the elements is not at all the best electrical design idea.

Some Model A owners have soldered the screw and/or rivet connections; & some have found a similar but different, much more durable fuse holder mounted on the starter.

Fuses totally encapsulated in fuse holders & not exposed to the weather are far superior & will last almost indefinitely.

Saw some plastic, black ones at Auto-Zone a few days ago -- bought one to place in line with my 6 volt (+) ground metal GPS/cell phone charger.

They are under $5.00, with 12 gauge black wire -- get one & you can drive off into the sunset with a smile.
