I have a bad connection at one of the fuses on my panel. This is for the fuse that supplies current for fuel gauges, oil temp gauge, and interior light. At times, it will loose a connection. Easy to spot - fuel and oil temp gauges fall to zero. If I wiggle the fuse holder cap a bit, it will connect and read back proper function.

The frequency which this occurs in increasing. Plane is heading into owner assist annual. I have tried to clean the internal connections in the fuse holder. And yes, first think I did was to replace the fuse.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you, Gary
