The cover of my fuse box is missing. I can buy a new cover from Sierra Madre or get a new fuse panel. But Jwest doesn't have it at the moment and Pelican neither. I could buy a 12 way fuse box on Ebay but I'm not sure it will fit
I have had no electrical issues, so what would be the best thing to do? |

First, I’m a big believer in using all new fuses. Spend $5-10 and replace them all.
Second, the original fuse panel is simple and works fine. Clean up the contacts. I found a second panel, cleaned it off in vinegar and then switched the wires, one by one, into the clean panel. Then cleaned the old one so I could do the same for the next car. I would just get a new cover. The old ones get brittle and crack. Attached image(s) |
