The others who have responded to this thread covered cleaning the fuse holder, I would only add that this is much easier to do if you remove the kick panel first. It's much easier to see what you are doing and easier to clean the connections at the fuses.

Disconnect the battery before using a wire brush on your fuse holder.

I have always replaced the ceramic fuses on 240s with glass Buss fuses but have been having some failure issues with my latest car. The fuses for the fuel pumps and for the air conditioner run so hot that they melt the solder inside the fuse. The fuse never blows, it just stops working. I replaced those three with new ceramic fuses and haven't had any problems since.
