A 1086 is bad for overheating and weakening the clips the glass fuse snaps into. Over time the contact surface of the clips corrodes from being too hot and the fuse won't make contact anymore. Usually the fuse slowly melts from the poor connection and the work lights go out but the flashers still work.

There used to be an updated fuse block available from IH that supposedly had stronger fuse clips but that wasn't the cure for my 1086 and it still overheats the clips. Jim
