Exactly. This is why if I have a fuse blow I don't worry about it at all unless it blows again in a fairly short period of time. (like less than a month) Then I start to think there is a problem. I've had plenty of fuses blow for what seemed like pretty much no reason at all. Replaced the fuses and years later still have no problems.

I wouldn't think a bunch of fuses blowing is good Shawn...

When I am replacing a fuse etc. I am ensuring the tabs are clean, and have a light coating of dielectric on them. Then putting them into the socket and removing 5 times before leaving it in the socket. This way the fuse is clean..the removal and insertion cleans the socket and the dielectric promotes a clean corrosion free connection.

Yeah, the internal fuse link will fatigue over years and can just give way for no apparent reason.

Oh, good to know, maybe that'* all it was!
