remove fusebox
strip it out
clean it up
replace
working

then find the covers that were available for the recall for water ingress into the fuseboxes

one is plastic and goes over the battery etc
the others are rubbery and plastic seperate that go over the drivers side ones that does the lights etc

easy enough to pop out

 

Aha, my specialist subject. Fookin things....

It's probably corroded to fook inside. It's a bastard to get out too. You have to lay in the footwell, and stick your arm right up into the top corner of the dash.

I took mine apart, and took it to an anodising place, where they stripped all the crap off for about £15 and put it back together myself. Or you could get a replacement, but if 2nd hand it's likely to have similar problems.

WHY do they put it where most of the water collects.

Yeah, if your small enough to stand in the footwell. Or use a crowbar and sod the nuts.

 

thanks guys will strip it out this weekend and let you know what happens

 

the drivers side one is easy as pie, the other side is a little less easy

 

so i take it you'll do mine for me.......

 

possibly

 

Good lad Dojj

 

you cheeky coonts

it's the driver side one he's fucked up
