Ok, tell me if I am right but it looks like a simple pull and plug solution? If anyone has done this, answer a couple of questions for me before I proceed. Now, the double spades are used in place of the spade above and below the old ceramic type fuses? sp they plug into each single spade on the new box?
I just hate to see my wiring get fried....looks like a rats nest anyway. Is there any difference between the JWest and the Engman type fuse box upgrade? Michael |

I'm running into some issues with the JWest replacement as well. Probably because of a PO with random wiring skills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif), but, still, I'm left with a conundrum. Here's the front of the fuse box:
The bottom connections make sense (ignore the brown wire, it's part of the PO mess): However, the top connections are FUBAR. See the missing yellow headlight motor wire (nowhere to be found...) and the "extra" dangling red/black wire. I'm off to scrutinize my current flow diagrams (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif), but I thought maybe someone here would have a quick tip. |

That is correct, the first two pairs of headlight fuses are internally bussed on the input side so that one wire feeds two headlight outputs. The black/red should be for the fresh air fan and goes to fuse #8. What color is the other wire you have on fuse 8? It looks tan but that would not be correct. |

That tan one is part of the PO "engineering". I have removed it. I assume the black/red wire goes in its place? |
