Fuse Panel
Hey All, Just had a couple of questions on a fuse panel, Does it need to be grounded to the cab. I noticed that I keep having issue with the heater blower and the stereo, its like one overeides the other have to re ground them. The PO had so much stuff tied in that the box it self kinda of melted, so i am suspecting its within the fuse box itself. Also does anyone know where I could get another one, or what other years would work in there without to much modifications. Thanks in advance....

Re: Fuse Panel
These trucks seem to be prone to grounding issues. Make sure you have a good(10 ga) ground from the battery to the radiator support for a body ground. I also highly recommend the braided copper straps that go from the engine to the firewall.
And as mentioned above, the fuse panel itself may be damaged on the back side. it's common for the plastic of the housing to be brittle, and allow the terminals to become loose or fall out. IMO opinion, if you need to replace the fuse panel, upgrade to a newer style with more circuits. it'll distribute the electrical load better. |
