the fuse is good. i cleaned the contacts on both sides of the fuse to ensure it makes good contact.

i removed the cover and can see into the area where the safety switch lives.

what nest in there.

i presume the solenoid is under the safety switch which must be removed to get at the solenoid?

the area is clean and soft drink residue free as no one here drinks the stuff or at least not very often and never in the car.

now that the fuse and contact are checked and cleaned the next step is to wait for another day to see if it repeats.
