    Electrical New electrical issue.....fuse welded in place???

    OK guys....started switching the terminals from my old fuse block to the new one. I am able to get the single-wire terminals out without too much trouble, but.....I cannot seem to get the terminals with metal plates between slots out. Some of them cover 2 slots and some of them span 3...

    Electrical New electrical issue.....fuse welded in place???

    Interesting you mention the hot glue gun....Just today I had to do that to a connector. 6 port connector and only 2 of the wires still had the clips intact. I found this by accident while going through each wire bundle. A wire just fell out when I moved the connector. I ended up using...

    Electrical New electrical issue.....fuse welded in place???

    OK 5L5...I appreciate your pictures and comments. I sure hope I can strip the new one. Luckily I can get good practice removing the clips while holding the block in my hand. Then, when I get to the one hanging in the car I will be prepared. Luckily all the wires appear to match between...

    Fox Subframe installation cost?

    Funny you mention it....the entire inside of my car is out...seats, carpet, dash....everything. It's just a shell with a steering wheel! No carpet fire here! Good idea about the body shops...haven't tried them yet.

    Hey guys.....I have been trying to find someone to weld on my MM full length connectors here in McDonough, GA. I can't find anybody willing to do the welding. Is it normally a muffler shop that will do it? I need to find somebody but have been rejected a bunch of times now. I didn't...

    Electrical New electrical issue.....fuse welded in place???

    I have looked over the fuse block and have no idea where the "plastic tabs" that Mike mentioned. I don't see them. I did, however, order a 'new' block off ebay. It came today and is in MUCH better condition. I would like to be able to slide out and use the existing wires that are in...

    Electrical New electrical issue.....fuse welded in place???

    Wow, thanks for that info Mike. All this time and I had no idea the contacts could be removed like that. The area around the fuse is totally melted out and destroyed. I just ordered a fuse block replacement on Ebay that is totally intact. Now, using your info, I will try and see if I...

    Electrical New electrical issue.....fuse welded in place???

    Hi guys...more electrical problems. Digging through my dash wiring mess, I have come across an issue that I don't know what to do about. It seems my #9 fuse....AC/heater blower fuse, 30a, has welded itself into place. One side of the fuse is all black and brown...burned looking. I tried...

    Electrical Some help with electrical wiring...console and dash

    Wow...thank you so much. I knew I could still count on you! I would not have figured this one out. The CC has never worked since we bought the car years ago. No wonder since this plug has been dangling under there all this time. Not sure if there is anything I can do about it now...

    Hi Mike, long time since you have helped me. I miss my old surging 93 vert but going to make this 92 even better! Here are a couple of photos...not great but all I can get ATM. It's the smaller plug in the dash area....with 2 blades in it. Thanks for helping. Ken

    Electrical Some help with electrical wiring...console and dash

    Thanks J. I have a 5 speed and the flat plug seems to be the plug to the cig lighter harness. The ones behind the dash are the biggest ???? I guess the 2 blocks, gray and black, are relays from what I know. The plug comes out of the same harness that goes to the two relays. Sort of a...

    Hi guys... Long time absent member here. A lot of life changes this past year has led me back to working on my son's old 92 GT hatch. I stopped about 6 years ago while having multiple back surgeries. I am picking back up on the wiring. I have most of it wrapped up but still a few...

    Contemplating ditching the PS and AC

    I removed both on my 93 vert years ago. I regretted it as soon as I finished. I didn't go skinnies on the front so can't say...but it was a royal pain to steer at slower speeds. I never used AC so thought I would be fine without. A few years down the road had me regretting this...

    Hey guys...long time gone...again, but still hanging around. My son's 92 hatch...which is now mine...was running like a top until 4 yrs ago. On my way home the transmission started screaming and smoking. I just kept going to get home....I knew the T-5 was shot anyway...and parked it in the...

    right under the middle of the dash

    You aren't talking about the blue one are you? Just in case, that's the control box for the speed control. The black one is for the radio. A lot of the radio amps were also located under the front passenger seat. Good luck, Ken
