sometimes my volvo 740 1987 dont start.I check and the problem is in the fuel pump fuse(25 amp).I need to extract the fuse and place again to start the car.I know that some stores sell an aerosol spray to clean the electrical contacts.This method dont hurt the compartment fuse box?What is the best method to clean the contacts?Thanks for the attention.

I've found that Blow Off Contact cleaner http://scientificsonline.com/product.as ... 1208471084 works pretty well. Just be sure to let it air out a little while after you've sprayed it. Never used it on a fuse box but for other electronics it works wonders.

Please chime in if I'm not correct about using an aerosol cleaner on fuseboxes

No reason why not as the stuff evaporates pretty quickly, but I would disconnect the battery first to be on the safe side.
