How to change the Fusebox on a Tuscan

[Nappler]

There is a problem with the fusebox on my car, one of the terminals inside it-the one to the fuel pump relay is intermitantly not working so the car can cut out, I've got another fusebox coming tomorrow and just wondered how difficult they are to change?, is it a garage job or a pretty easy DIY thing?, any pointers would be appreciated, it looks like a couple of screws to remove it but don't know what the other side looks like!.

I've just had a similar problem on my Wedge...

Although mine was the ignition coil fuse.

The damn thing wasn't making a good connection on the left hand side of the fuse; it was shorting and heating up the fuse / wire at the back.


Again just two screws held the fusebox in place, but once I'd got to the back the connectors were crimped / soldered to the wiring.


I took the easy option and snipped the wires going to the fuse, then joined them onto a single in line blade fuse holder.


All in all the bits cost me about £5 and took about 10 minutes to do. Changing the whole fusebox will probably take quite a while.


No doubt your more modern TVR will be different. Good luck with the repair.

Got the part arriving tomorrow, garage is doing it then, as they've checked and identified the fusebox as the problem, they think it will be about an hours job.

Easy enough job, about an hour+half to do it once you get your back twisted into the pretzel shape required to do the work.
Take some pics of the work as you do it in case anything falls out and needs to be replaced.-relays, fuses etc.
