I took out all the fuses and coated each end with a dab of

the same result a few miles into a ride stopped running.
Removing the headlight "seemed" to fix it, but maybe just a
coincidence. Using a standard sealed beam headlight and
connector so don't *think* its too large. I need to put a tiny
person in there while I ride who can observe things.

I had my Ambo worked on by a popular shop some years ago, and they put
in a replacement headlight, even though I told them not to, because mine
was on the bench at home. The sealed beam they put in was long enough to
push the fuses out of place. Putting my original light back in solved
the problem.
I believe there are deep buckets and shallow ones so it bears looking
into.
