RLCollins Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 What do you do with a fuse panel that has had to much brake fluid to drink? This was before I owned this MJ, and there is a hole in the floor underneath the fuse panel the size of a shoftball. The fuse panel has four bad spots in it, that only has one clip on one side, and two clips on the other side which is holding the fuse in place. I have wedge a piece of copper in place on this one side only, to help make a complete connection until I figure out how to properly repair this problem. I have not bypassed the fusing capability, just wedge the piece of copper on the one side to keep the circuit operational. What would you do? :hmm:
Akula69 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Take out the panel (and harness), repair the hole, install replacement fuse panel and harness. Oh, and fix the brake (or Clutch) leak.
cracker Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 :agree: Replace the fuse panel. Totally. I have installed a second fuse pannel and I am moving things over to the new fuse panel as I find them go bad.
64 Cheyenne Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Are you meaning having the second panel hanging there by the first, replacing the circuits as needed. Got any pics ?

RLCollins Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Already installed the new clutch, and brake master cylinders they were both BAD. And yes I want to see some pictures of the panel changeout- Do you just cut the wires and splice in a new panel, or do you take it to the stak-ons? If so; do the stak-ons just pull out of the plastic panel or what? Do you rebuild it, I've done that before too, or how do you do it. I am an Electrician and have change many Electrical Services and panels out in my lifetime, just never had done it to an automobile before, so what do I do? :help:
Eagle Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 The circuits are plug-n-play on the fuse panel. Why mess around with cutting and splicing and moving one wire at a time? Just yank the old panel, plug in a new panel, and fix any contacts that are bad in the plugs when you reconnect it.
