Radio shuts off

Okay ive been having this strange problem where ill be driving, and the radio and clock lose power out of nowhere.my power locks also stop working, all i have to do is open the fuse box and push the little yellow box thing that holds the fuses for these accessories all the way in, it fixes the problem for a while until it happens again eventually. whats causing this to happen.??

Loose connection?
Have you tried replacing the fuse and yellow box?

It could be either a loose connection and may need to rewire that fuse to a different (unused) fuse or replace the fuse.
I'd replace the fuse and see if it fixes it.
Cheap fix if it does.

okay so i looked at it, and the little metal prong inside the fuse box seems to be sinking down, is there a way to push it back up. ill probably have to remove the fuse box and take it apart right.

Yeah, as far as I know you have to get to the back of the box to push it back in and secure it.
Unless you can hook it with a o-ring hook and pull it out?
