Did that fix the problem? Getting a tighter connection on the fuse?

Yes, those are the same thing. They just have those white plastic covers on top of each terminal. You have to pull those back, then you can squeeze the tabs to increase gripping force.

The only way you can make it tighter is to gently squeeze the connector with a pair of pliers. This way it will grab the male spade part on the fuse box better.

Today, I decided to check the fuses. I tested a couple of relays (0332019151) yesterday and all were good.
In april 2023 I put the Birdman’s fuse boxes in. I just noticed the #16 (horn) was quite loose. It was easy to push it up and down. Still a bit tough to take it out but can this have been the problem ?
#17 (right fan) was quite loose too. Both fan worked yesterday by the sound of it, I didn’t check if BOTH worked.

If this was the origine of my  problem, meaning horn not working only when engine running, how do you get these things tight ? I tried with my thumb finger nails, but to no results. I couldn’t find a tiny enough screwdriver blade.
Any ideas ?

If that was the problem, now I only need to figure out the mess I made with the ground wire attached to the horn button.
