If you cant salvage that fuse block, email one of the guys selling 2nd gen parts in the for sale section... someone probably has one. So, is it the 80amp fuse thats broken off but everything else still works??



Its Chris by the way... I was trying to help you on IM last night for a bit.

The wiring harness going to the light switch can also burn out.

that happened to my FC. I had to replace the light switch. the board got fried in the switch. got it at a junk yard.



check that out before getting a whole new harness.

I only meant to also check the harness, not the WHOLE harness, just the one that goes to the light switch.

According to Jim its really only one wire that goes bad in it, so a harness

isnt needed, just a wire repair.
