like NIKE and sindydix say.....just do it!

 

I can't access the link posted in #1.
Could please somebody fix that or provide another link?

Thanks a lot!

 

If I remember correctly it was pretty much just a picture of where the fuse box is located and a picture of the fuse box itself both closed and open. Socal’s finger might have been in there somewhere pointing out a fuse. It was pretty much useless if you read your owners manual.

 

SoCal dismantled his site.

 

I tried to help somebody and jump their car and now the steering wont work. I called the dealership and they said it is probably a fuse. I pulled the fuse cover and I either can't read the abbreviations or I am looking in the wrong place. Can anyone help me? Thanks

 

Fuse #1 in the Engine Dept fuse box. If you don't jump buy using the Red term on the side of the fuse box and the proper ground you WILL blow the fuse. Do not use the black connector that is on the back of the fuse box, that is not ground. Either use the bolt on the strut tower which is marked gnd or part of the engine block which is ground.

Thanks I found it.

 

Hi all, I am new to this site and am very happy to have found such an awesome resource. I came here for info on my fuses but the link from the OP is now dead! here is the current location for the fusebox tip page:

Thanks for the updated link to this info

I know it advises to check/reseat the fuses and relays monthly, but i was wondering if it would be a smart thing to use some kind of conductivity paste or something along thoses lines to help with the fuse/fuseblock connections staying good.
I'm a electrical tech and we mostly use a special paste on hi voltage(13.8K and higher) connections for busswork etc.,
Just wondering if it would be worth using the same stuff on the plug in items in our fuse boxes.
(I'm sure it would, but just throwing it out here to discuss)

I'm hoping to get 5-6 yrs and 200K outa mine (normal w/ my driving) so i prob should be prepping for the long haul with mine.

 

Heck...leave the assembly in Mexico....it keeps the Mexicans in a good job and maybe they'll stay home instead of coming here.
