Hi All,
Just going through the electrics on the Pick-up after a 6 year rebuild.
I'm glad to say no real issues, but one thing has become obvious.
Under load the fuse connections at the fuse-box are breaking down. Looks like the terminals are dry and lightly corroded.
A change of fuses helped but the problem still occurs so my question is.......
Has anyone recently bought a new fuse-box and are they any good?
I might just bead blast the one I have if the quality of new boxes is poor.
Opinions please!
Thanks!
Martin

Can't see a problem with new ones - but you should be able to make the old one work easily enough.........

My new fuse box has been ok. (I've just given it the kiss of death now!)

I've got a box full of used fuse boxes, part of a job lot.

I recently replaced a new fuse box with a good used one as it was giving problems.
The fuse holding clips were a bit loose on the base, and they didn't grip the fuses very positively.
