Tuesday - riding home. Everything working fine, then stopped for a few minutes. Turned the bike back on, and only the main headlight + rear lights worked. No signals, or brightening of the rear light when lights turned on.
Got home, checked, and a wire cluster in the head lamp had come apart, and a fuse for the lights had blown.
Replaced the fuse box (been putting it off for awhile), and now the blade fuses work great.
Ran through everything to test, and lights all worked, except for the rear brake which dimmed when using the rear brake lever instead of brightening.
I saw some sparks down below, video here

Electrical is not my forte. I think it might be something lose/worn in that brake signal device pictured, but I don't know how to check that.
Advice appreciated.
