FWIW, I have found the blade-type fuses to respond well to a cleaning of the sockets with a good contact cleaner (i.e. Dr. Booth's favorite, DeOxIt---nothing else comes close). It's harder to get in there than with the old cylindrical type, but worth it. I take all the fuses out, put some of the DeOxIt on an old toothbrush, scrub the sockets, and put the fuses back in. Solved at least one intermittent gremlin in my Suburban that way (trailer brake lights failing to come on---they're on a separate circuit from the brake lights on the truck itself).
