    Fuse box

    Any easy way to get underneath it and check things out? 19 and 20 fuses are acting up (power mirrors and blower motor) and ran out of other things to check...)

    Is this an easily replaceable item?

    no, the fuse box is part of the complete wiring harness, to a certain extent some items in the fuse box can be replaced. To gain access to the guts, you have to pull all the relays and undo the bolts holding tha halves together.

        Yea....I pulled that thing out with the complete harness off my parts car.

        If you end up needing something...let me know mang. I don't think I'll ever sell the thing complete, so I'm willing to chop stuff off.

        Just let me know if you need anything!

        Won't be able to get it until May though, when I'm home from college. ;)

          Here's hoping...I'll see what I can dig up and hopefully find the culprit. I've had some crazy electrical gremlins, but this one takes the cake...sigh.

              The harness can be seperated from the fusebox, but you'd better take good notes or pictures or something. There is a long lock strip that holds each row of wires in teh bottom. Once that is out you can pop each individual wire out.

                  ya it can be done, but it's a pain in the butt, but so is rewiring the complete car.
