Headlights were stuck in the up position, wipers didn't work and a bunch of other stuff. James came to the rescue and here's what he found
The board I had purchased years ago with more modern fuses had some issues.  When he pulled apart the fuse holders we found that the links between fuses with shared power leads were connected with braided wire. The wire wasn't soldered to the fuse holder, it was just pressed between the plate and the plastic shell.   and when the braided wire melted into the plastic it created intermittent breaks in the power  So we put in an OEM unit and all is well again |

I had an Engman board with issues. Probably still have it. I forget which board I have in the car now but it works great and is not the stock board.
