You should check the red wire, blade fuse and fuse holder for corrosion. Quick test is to shake the wire near fuse holder with car idling. If it stalls or sputters you’ve found your problem! In addition to checking the blade fuse be sure to look for corrosion inside the fuse holder and at both ends of the wire. Took me foreverrrrr to find the problem on my 90 240. First replaced fuse - no good. Later found corrosion inside of the fuse holder. Replaced it. Success! Also replaced wire for good measure...:)
