E-Z Wiring #20 Fuse Box Issue

[lsversaw]

Can you just use a small screwdriver, from the front of the panel (the side the fuses plug in to), to bend the retaining clips for the instrument fuse so they are closer together and grab tighter? That would be simplest solution, so you've probably already tried it.

Be sure to disconnect the battery negative cable while you're working on the fuse panel. You probably already knew that.

On the ezwiring.com website it looks like their current 21-circuit harnesses don't use a bulkhead connector (or even subharnesses), and instead just hardwire everything directly to the fuse panel. That's a cheaper way to build a wiring harness, and may work fine for a aftermarket install, but it could make troubleshooting and repair more difficult. Like in this case. In addition, it would make it difficult to upgrade and repair a sub-harness like the engine harness or front light harness.

If you can't just bend the fuse clip back into place, I would ask the ezwiring tech support people how to remove the fuse block. Maybe there is a way to do it, ez-ily.
