What would be causing that and or would some contact cleaner might solve th issue????
By "an ark in the fuse", do you mean an arc within the plug in link ? If so, the fuse is open circuit with only a small gap in the element. This can happen through corrosion. The fuse will have to be replaced.

If the arcing is below the fuse link and within the socket assembly, you will have to look for a mechanical problem which is causing poor contact. Follow your nose.
