@GeneralDisorder and @Ronmar both shared solid suggestions to clean our PDP and update the circuit breakers and relays.
We found a mix of their suggestions and other sources to clean and replace our aging electrical bits and pieces. We used compressed air, a small paint brush, and a micro fiber cloth; then DetoxIt to prepare the connections.
Then we replaced all the critical circuit breakers and relays while reusing some of the older relays in slots we expect to either not require or may need in the future.
This 'placeholder' circuit breaker is interesting.
After doing this I wonder if using standard ATO blade fuses rather than waterproof circuit breakers would have been better? I can look to see if an ATO blade is bad, how do I know if one of these is bad?
All in all we are happy with the results, hopefully they will last another 20 years. Next is to figure out why the ABS dash warning light came on once we replaced the battery disconnect relay—
