Sometimes depending on weather conditions and age of the car/fuseblock there can be some minor corrosion on the fuses that will inhibit the contact with the terminals where the fuses fit into the block itself. I had this happen once and realized I had no rear tail lights. I removed the fuses (glass tube type) and polished/cleaned the contacts and the ends of the fuses with 600 grit wet or dry sandpaper. Humidity in our area is almost non existant, I'm sure it would be worse in a high humidity area, unless you were to use a weathertight fuse box. Suggest including it as part of your routine maitenence.
Good luck
Rick
