I installed a NOCO direct connect adapter to the battery this AM for the charger.

I have often seen it advised here to periodically push the fuses down in the TIPM. Well, for grins, I did that after installing the adapter.

Wow!

Virtually every fuse needed to be seated. So, it IS a thing.

It's been reported a number of times over the years by a few owners. Not for a while though, that I recall. It seems odd they would work 'up' but apparently they can.

Good reminder. Thanks! :waytogo:

Yup, almost cost me a 30mile tow to the dealer. can't remember all the codes but it would not start. I started to pull fuses to check and noticed EVERY one was not fully seated. Don't know if it was a monday/friday build, the person inserting them was weak/in hurry/lazy or the Jostling on the scrub board roads did it. That was 4 years ago, thanks for the reminder to check them!
