Like the title I'm looking for a replacement fuse box for a 69 wildcat the one i have works but it's pretty badly corroded and doubt it'll last much longer.
That's a big job changing the fuse panel...... This place makes wiring harnesses.... http://www.wiringharness.com/ .......They might sell you a panel.. FWIW I bought their Dash harness for my skylark.... I would never try to tackle changing the fuze panel in car..... Just dismantling the panel from the harness work beach is not fun...
I wish one of our decal guys could make a new legend overlay mine is really worn thin on the writing.
I have a bare fuse box; you'd have to pop out your wires from the back and reinstall. I believe all 69 boxes are the same. John
Pop a fuse out one by one and clean the contacts with a piece of sand paper. It really doesn’t look that bad. Would be a much bigger job to replace it
Richard, If you want to attempt to clean what you have, since they do not look that bad, I have done the below and have had great results, it's a bit messy, and you will be in a tight spot kneeled down on the driver's side. But it is easier than replacing dash harness if the block will clean up. (You can do a deeper cleaning of the terminals, but that requires removing each terminated wire from the panel, cleaning, and putting it back in, so you will need to make a diagram noting the placement of every terminal, so you can put them back correctly. You can do the following and clean all the contacts. 1. Remove all fuses and the flasher. 2. Remove the two screws holding the fuse panel. (in red) The block is a made of two halves. The half facing is the fuse panel, the half behind it it the interface for the two engine harnesses bolted on the firewall side under the brake booster we talked about before. NOTE: If you can get the fuse panel for enough from the firewall to do the following cleaning process, you can proceed. If you cannot, you may need to remove the bolt and remove the two firewall harness plugs, then pull the front part of the fuse panel block into the car and have more slack in the fuse panel (dash) harness to do the cleaning. CLEANING PROCESS You will need CLR, you can get it from most hardware stores or Lowes/Home Depot/Walmart. Baking Soda and 1 gallon water. Mix about 4 tablespoons to 1 cup of water. You will need 2 containers, 1 to dump the CLR solution, and 1 to dump the Rinse Water, and Neutralizing solution. WARNING: Use rubber/nitrile/latex gloves. (I recommend rubber dishwashing gloves, less likely to tear from the plastic edges) 1. After getting panel loose, and you have enough slack in the harness to work with, get a large trash bag and cut it open to use as a "drop cloth". 2. Lay it on the floor and push it up to cover the back of the firewall pedals, floor hump, seat and side kick panel and catch/contain liquid. 3. Get a jar, plastic cup, or other container that you can get the whole fuse panel part in, you can do both halves of the block if you want. 4. Put enough CLR that will not overflow with the part(s) inside. Wrap plastic as well as you can so you can agitate the part and cleaner. Your going to slosh/spill some. 5. Agitate the container for about 2 minutes to keep the cleaner in contact and flowing over the connectors. 6. After 2 minutes, see if the contacts are clean, if not, 2 minutes more. 7. Pour out the CLR in one bucket. 8. Add water to the parts container, agitate, pour in second bucket. 9. Add baking soda solution to the parts container, agitate, pour in second bucket. 10. Add water to the parts container, agitate, pour in second bucket. (two times). 11. Shake excess water off parts, wrap up plastic and discard. 12. If you splashed any CLR, wipe it up, then wipe the are with damp cloth using the baking soda solution, then wipe with damp cloth using water. 13. Use a heat gun on high flow, warm heat (no hotter than your hands can stand), compressed air, or soak parts in 91% Isopropyl alcohol to remove water. Put everything back together. Hope this helps.
