Fuse Distribution Block... broken

emtee33 · 10-12-2007, 04:56 AM

When I bought my 2, the sound was never working. So my friend and I found out the culprit.

the Fuse Distribution Block.... it's broken into several pieces.
Since I don't know how vital this thing is but the only music I've been listening to this past month is the engine, i'm guessing it's somewhat important.

What are my options? Should I try to solder them back together or buy a new Fuse Distribution Block?

If I buy, what do you suggest?

attached is the picture of my broken Fuse Distribution Block.

Buy a new block, I'd suggest something like THis or This... I'd say remove or disconnect the blue led's in the one or unhook the digital gauge since if it stays on all the time it'll probably drain the battery over time...

Also you can goto a local dealership and get the similar ANL fuse holders at local audio shops, it'll be more expensive but it'll be with out a wait...

Cool. When it comes to things those ANL fuses are alot better than the glass ones (mainly on the ratings they can do) but also the fuse blocks (for distros or just fuse holders) are once piece units.... and seeing the pics of your distro makes me not ever wanna use those glass fuse holders again

but like I said you should be able to remove the led's from the fuse block since that's more of a "show" thing than a functional piece, now if they lit up when the fuse blew that'd be more useful but less showy.

The glass fuse are in tack they still work. Problem is that the pieces that were holding them together all feel apart. the distribution block looked like it's been eaten up by rust and acid.
