760 Turbo fuse panel replacement 700


Hi Everyone,

My '84 760 Turbo needs a new fuse panel. The fuse for the blower motor is melted pretty badly. How hard is this to do? If I remember right, the whole panel lifts out. The plastic around my headlight relay is also melted. Can I buy the small piece that the wires fit into? I also want to original wire connectors that go into the relay since the one with the big red wire is in bad shape.

Thanks,
Dave

Interesting. My 740 has a melted #16 fuse (blower / AC), but the blower still runs OK. I was wondering also how to fix it. Is this a design fault? Sorry I can't help.

Hi Art,

The melting is because of the heating cycles that the contacts experience from years and years of use. They were fine when new, but as these cars are getting older, that blower motor fuse seems to be the first to start melting. Mine was also getting really hot. New fuse panels are only about $35 from Swedish Engineering. You might want to check this post again later to see how the remove/install one. I'm hoping that someone else has replaced one of these. Then you could fix yours as well. The blower on my car runs fine as well, but I worry about the fuse heating up like that.

Cheers,
Dave
