From Memory in May of this year, I bought one whilst on holiday in Florida and I think a new fuse box cost me $225 or thereabouts for a 3rd Gen Hemi..

well I am just running a good old house wire from one lead to another. I can't afford to bring it to the dealership since they will give it to me good and I don't want to waste my money. I also cant be without my truck for more than a day.

How much work would it be to change the fusebox am I best off taking it to the dealer?

Default No parking lights or liscence plate lights

I have a 2002 Quad Cab 1500 4x4 with this problem. I have been reading and realized that the fuse box is my problem. Is there anyway to clean the box to get rid of the corrosion? I read that there is a card that corrodes. Is there anyway to get to this area of the box, or do I just have to buy a new fuse box? Please help. I miss driving my truck. I can only drive it during the day.

Default Where do I get the fuse box

OK I Googled myself to death trying to find a replacement engine comp fuse box. 97 5.2 SLT. I have the no rear parking lights but all trailer lights work. So I need (as posted) the engine fuse block. Can anyone tell me where to get one? I am thinking New because of the problems with the used ones corroding.
