    Check all of your wiring from the battery to the fuse block and make sure nothing is stripped or making contact with something it shouldn't.

      Look for a multimeter.

          Yes... it could very well be moisture somewhere... How about in the switchgear on the bars?

          Is it only main fuse or taking any other fuses with it?
