Minuit Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The fusebox in my '89 is all screwed up from clutch fluid. I need another one. Needs to be from an automatic vehicle. None of the junkyards around me have anything old enough. Bonus points if it's from an '89. Shipping will be to 38401. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 There's 2 ways to replace a fusebox and neither are fun. One way is to cut the fusebox out of your harness and splice the new one in as is one wire at a time. The other is to remove all of the terminals from the fusebox (they're crimped on to the individual wires), replace the bad ones and reinstall them into the new fusebox, again one at a time so you don't mix anything up. Or of course you could replace the whole dash harness which is even more of a headache. There isn't an easy way. If you're going to replace one yourself, make sure it's from an automatic vehicle since automatics don't have a clutch master cylinder to leak brake fluid onto the fuse box. I cut that one out of a 1990 XJ at the junkyard the other day. Every 1993 (not sure about 1992) on up XJ I've seen has a slightly different box with numbered positions. The box in the 91 is similar but slightly different (for example, no hazard/brake light fuse - it's directly wired to the battery on the 91) but I assume the Renix years are all the same.

Minuit Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes, they just don't get ruined by the clutch master cylinder. Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice jammies.... I have one I just took out of a 91 if you need me to look at it. I almost always have rEnix fuseboxes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
