Generator. Kept shutting down

I thought this might help someone out there
I have received lot of help w this forum and thanks
My generator kept shutting down on the road
 I figured it out when checking the fuses on the gen panel
When I pressed on the cap of the fuse holder on the generator.  It started working. So I replaced the fuse caps
, cleaned the internal springs - contacts and install new fuses.. (the fuses tested good but). 
There was some corrosion but cleaned them anyway
I have not had any more problems since. I think the springs in the fuse holders were weak. ( kinda like a flashlight does).    Whew.  NAPA has the fuse Caps
Good luck to all and drive safe

Thanks, Bill.

Please tell us what generator you have-- there have been a number of different brands and models over the years.

Or put your coach info in your signature-- that will help you get more accurate answers to your future questions.
