there is really not much to it.. just follow the same sequence. pretty easy and mine included instructions

make sure you use the same screws that came out of the old one. if the screw is a bit longer, it may touch the main positive wire and burn it..

ask me hoe I know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Ok here's what I didn't get. I'll try to explain. Do u skip the second contact on the side that's facing the steering column? I believe it's a yellow wire. Also the one of the contacts on the same side, I believe it would be G if your going in order has two contacts and the panel did not have two contacts for that particular one. That's why I wanted to see a couple pics just to make sure I have it all correct. Thanks

The number and location of the terminals is the same. Plug each wire into the terminal corresponding to the one in the old fusebox. If there's a gap, you need to have the gap on the new one.

Go to Schucks or autozone and get yourself some of those multi plug connectors (single female to double male).

Maybe this could work for you?

If the current fusepanel has double connectors, why not just unplug those and re-use them???

A connector came in the package with the panel. Not like that one, but the "Y" type, and it works fine.

I agree with you both Andy and Cap'n.

MatteyP, Can you use the existing or included "Y" connectors?

I was assuming the existing y connections on the panel were in there correct locations and shouldnt need to be moved. I figured out I can take them off but didn't know whether or not I should have moved them around

Moved them around meaning putting in a different fuse location? I used the piggyback because it's tight in there and the "Y" connector was replaced with the piggyback. I removed from the original and placed on the same fuse accordingly.
