Fuse Block "Pins" ??
With short of buying a complete under dash harness can the fuse block be re-conditioned?
Can the in my words the "pins" that hold the Glass Fuses in place and the Straight Blade connectors that use the Push in Wire Housing Plugs be replaced or would that be Only a Complete unit exchange thing? The picture here I have circled what my question is all about. Thanks in advance. |

Re: Fuse Block "Pins" ??
Each of those is actually a terminal on the end of the wire, so yes, they can be replaced. I have a bunch of spare harnesses I would pirate them from, but you can likely buy them new as well and crimp-solder them on. Then they just stick into the big black plastic block that forms the fusebox and you're done.

I took some out of an old harness and I pretty much cracked/chipped the Bakelite fuse box getting them out. So, be careful in prying those puppies out, it's not that easy. If you do manage to get them out, try head blasting them with fine glass beads....works pretty good, you could always use a media tumbler to do the job as well.

That's NOT what I am after. What I want to do is re build the Fuse Block pins or glass fuse holders that are Originally installed in the fuse block.

You might try masking the face of the fuse block with "painters tape" then head blasting the terminals lightly, I wouldn't dwell in that area very long though.

Re: Fuse Block "Pins" ??
Yah I also thought of doing something like that. I have a small hand held blaster that does & can use soda blasting media & I do have different sizes/grit of media so I guess I'd do a little experimenting with the different grits of media probably sticking with the Soda. thanks
