RE: [DML] Fuse Box Cleaning and Fuse replacement, CHECK YOURS!!

Tom, You need to put a fuse extender on # 7, It's the usually #1 on the list
of first to go. Cleaning and replacing the fuses is the only way to protect
the box and don't use the cover.

Subject: [DML] Fuse Box Cleaning and Fuse replacement, CHECK YOURS!!


I fellow DeLorean owner recomended that I check my fuses and fuse box
since I just bought my car. He said he had a fuse box melt down on
him and that I should replace all the old fuses with new ones and
clean all the terminals in the fuse box. I took his advice and
Yesterday I changed them out and its a good thing I did. All the
fuses had a light oxidation on them and the fuse for the AC curcuit
had already started to melt down! I was able to clean/salvage the
terminals for the ac and clean up the rest of the terminals. Most of
the terminals looked pretty clean except a few which had some
corossion on them. Hopefully this will keep me from further problems
in this area. Just though I would pass this along, maybe it will
prevent a few more fuse boxes from melting down.
