My Tuscan keeps randomly cutting out, the really for the fuel pump is ok but seems to be a dodgy connection on fuse 34, if you wiggle it around it fires back up but it’s been getting worse.
This evening cut out about 4 times in an hour and in the end couldn’t get it to start at all and had to leave in a lay-by and get an Uber home.
Has anyone else had this issue?, it did get looked at by a specialist last week and they said they cleaned up the contacts and should be ok but it hasn’t been.
They said probably going to need a new fuse board if it keeps doing it.
Has anyone else had the same happen?, and can I get recommendations where to get a new fuse board from.

It's a porsche 993 fuse board and available from some of the specialist suppliers.

I had a similar issues a few years ago. Turned out to be the fuel pump relay on the fuse board. Cold it was fine and then when it warmed up there was a crack in one of the internal circuit tracks and the power inside cut off making the fuel pump stop and the car cut out.

Bought a new one off eBay and all has been well ever since. I even soldered up my original for a spare to keep in the car. Have a search for my post on Pistonheads.
