Excellent video. From pulling interior plastic, rubber, 10mm on power cable. 11mm on attachment bolt, squeeze wire removal, and "finger" pull connector removal ...only had to watch it once had the fuse box out in just a few minuts. Thanks for doing this video!
This is the most thorough video I've seen of this removal. I will say the very first thing you removed is next to impossible to do with 2 hands and a lot of questioning the universe. Those tabs are hellish. Other than that it's a pretty simple job. Bless you for starting with the trim removal too! Definitely subscribed.
Bought a used fuse box and did the swap...Thanks for actual time removal of those harnesses and not speeding up the video. You did make the removal of the power cable cover look easy. That part beat me some. However putting everything back in and together was a breeze. Thanks again, great video!

great work and easy to follow. Same color as my expedition. I will be taking out my fuse box under these guidelines, thanks for lesson.... It took me about 15 mintues to take out, and about 15 to put back in. Putting it back was more easier and my truck started right up. Thanks again.
Good video. I hate it when people talk too much and/or make a 20 minute video when it only needs to be 5 minutes long. If you had video camera glasses it would give you two hands and double as eye protection. Thanks for the help!
I’m having a lot of trouble taking off the cover in the back, do you have any other advice? I tried prying it and I can’t tell if the pin git bent or not
The two tabs are different, one can be easily pried outwards with a small flathead and the other is best removed with a pick or hook tool. It’s not the easiest since it’s in a tough location and difficult to see.
You will need to make sure the part number matches exactly with the replacement fuse box. They are not compatible with each other for the most part, some will get your vehicle running but you may not have function of additional extra accessories. Also make sure all fuses/relays are installed to match your original fuse box
@mikeavery4333 Thanks, appreciate your reply. Turned out circuit 400 was bad on the remanufacted box...returned it and bought a new box...all systems working again!
That’s a good question and there is a reason, you always want to have the battery grounded last so if there was a voltage spike or drain it can discharge any voltage. If the positive was only attached the voltage would have no where to go. So you always want to remove positive first and install connecting negative first then positive.
Have a 2003 expedition. It got wet inside. Windows down as well as the sunroof. Everything was wet. Got a buzzing noise from the dashboard for a few days. It stopped. But the locks and the auto headlamps stopped working as well as the rear seats and rear door and glass. Hopefully the new part will solve this problem. Oh yeah the battery died 2x already. The radio stays on to long are the engine is shut off
That is something that needs to be sent in for repair as that relay is what they call non serviceable, at least not with the common tools. You can email us at eclipsepro2000@yahoo.com for further information.
I need a new Fuse Box Panel, where do purchase a new one? We have already bypassed the Fuel Pump Relay and now the AC went out. We are thinking the relays are burning up / going out one by one. 😪
No reprogramming is necessary. Just make sure to match the numbers found at the bottom of the original fuse box with a replacement with the same numbers
I replaced my fuse box today and now the vehicle wont start. No interior lights or chimes turn on. Security light is blinking when the key is out of the car. When you turn the key on, the security light remains on. Any ideas what my issue could be? I replaced the box due to it melting the PCM relay and a constant high pitched wine was coming from it.
You most likely don’t have the right replacement fuse box or the replacement is bad. We repair these fuse boxes if you would like to send yours to us contact us at eclipsepro2000@yahoo.com and we will repair your original box and get you back on the road fast.
I had a complete electrical failure yesterday driving my 2005 Ford Expedition. All the sudden I saw antilock break light come on, then my light started to dim, then other dash lights came one, then batter went dead, and all lights went out, but it kept running for a few miles until finally the fuel pump quit. It appeared that the fuel pump was the last to die. Had it towed and started looking at it this morning. It appears to be a short voltage is at 0.0 until I disconnect the fuse box main power wire then 12.3v. After pulling all the fuses I can't find the problem. I know that two plugs are causing the short. The white one and one of the pink ones.. I have no idea what is causing the short. I suppose it could be the fuel relay but this isn't the symptom that others have described.
Broderick Magnus They don't all fail in the same manner so yours may have a relay that is stuck in the closed or on position. The symptoms with lights coming on and dimming sounds a lot like a alternator problem. If your fuse box needs to be repaired I can go through it and replace any defective components. Email me at eclipsepro2000@yahoo.com for any questions
Hi, I've had to replace the PCM Relay twice (burned out). I also replaced the entire fuse box last year and now I'm having the same problem with the PCM relay. I noticedThe outet for the relay is also melted. It won't crank and makes a buzzing noise when trying to crank. Can you tell me why this keeps happening.
If the internal components of the fuse box haven't been updated this will continue to be an issue as this is a common problem with these vehicles. Many electronic components rely on each other to operate correctly and sometimes malfunction causing others to fail. Thats whats happening in this case. If you would like it to be fixed correctly feel free to contact me for repair, eclipsepro2000@yahoo.com
Racing Raivalls101 It's a relay that goes bad and the cause of it is because the original relay doesn't have the proper amperage rating to handle the load cycle it's required to. It was cheaper for them to manufacture in short. There's also other components on the board, resistors and a diode that were made from a poor quality material that cause power to fluctuate rapidly and cause surges which in turn creates extra heat in the components and cause them to prematurely fail. If you need it repaired and also comes with a lifetime warranty let me know.
Isn't their a place where the power cable from the battery connects? I saw one video and the guy pulled it right through the firewall. I guess it must attach somewhere on the box.
triggerhorse1 no need to pull the main wire through the firewall, just disconnect and remove the fuse box. The main connector is on the left side almost near the top, there’s a cover that’s quite a pain to remove before your able to disconnect the main power cable
I have an 04 expedition and after trying to instal led taillights, my expedition no longer has any power to its windows, door locks, radio, interior lights, back tailgate wont open, 4wd switch will not engage 4wd, no dash lights only airbag light, and i cant shift out of park by pressing on the break. Could this be a bad fuse box, i tested almost all the fuses and it shows they have power. I also tested the fusible link under the hood. Any ideas?
It seems like a strange result from trying to install led lights but there may have been a voltage spike that could have affected the internal circuit board of the fuse box. I offer a repair service for these fuse boxes if that's something you would like to be tested.
My fuse 102 keeps blowing and the truck will not crank or start,i was told the fuse box has to be replaced at the dealer so they can re-program the new one,is this true?????
Prada Boy no there is nothing to program on the fuse box, it is only a circuit board and relays. If your fuse box needs to be repaired contact me at eclipsepro2000@yahoo.com
do you have good mechanical knowledge? I have a big problem with my 06 Lincoln and I am 60 yo female who likes to DYI. I just can not find out book or internet information on why my air compressor will not come back on, yet I can jump it by the battery then it will work. I am so frustrated and even have removed the junction fuse box. Thank you if you can reply How did you know it was the fuse box and what did you do? replace or fix? I would have loved to see the panel board.
DYI-n-SAVE-FROM A-Z they have a low pressure cutoff so that could be a possibility also could be the compressor relay or fuse. Could also be internal corrosion in the fuse box
@@eclipseproct5496 I did test my fuse box motherboard and found 2 resistors and had no continuity. I think it is the main issue because of good Ford won't recall the darn problem with water getting in the sides. I also seen where the one wire harness that is at the top left side has problems as well. I seen a place on EBay that sells the box with the wire for under 300.00

I found the easiest way to do it is from the rear. I removed all the connectors and left the hot wire for last. Small flat head screwdriver to release both tabs and it popped right off.
Been having the exact same problem been working on that particular cover for almost 3 hours now it just will not come off the frustrating thing is that it's the last piece that I need to remove
I was charged two hours of labor for removing and reinstalling this same fuse box. Seems to me like I was overcharged. It only took you a little over six minutes to remove that one. Whats your opinion?
Sounds like they went by the book and charged ya the book time. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. That’s how they make money. It’s a race against the book.
Vic Poi yes they are quite tricky but they pry outwards from the end, one on top and one on bottom. If you can get a light in there it's easier to remove once you see how they're fastened.
Joseph Murdock I stand corrected. I have never personally tried it but was told others have tried and there was multiple problems with no power. I'm glad it worked in your case
If it had been a General Motors or a Chrysler they would have put it right next to the battery what a good spot for corrosion. Bad enough the relays internal instead of extra work laws they put more priority to a God damn fog light relay than a fuel pump relay.
myRaShines did you replace with the same year fuse box? Also these have a lot of common problems so the replacement might also need repair. I repair these fuse boxes if your interested
Typically the year before or after will work but some added features that differ model to model may not function. We recommend replacing with the exact part number. We do offer repairs to your existing fuse box to guarantee compatibility.

Can you elaborate on the back wire with the different tabs
They are both pry tabs and need to be pulled outwards, a hook tool is ideal.
Very Helpful video. Thanks. I am curious as to why you disconnected the positive battery terminal instead of the negative.
That’s a good question and there is a reason, you always want to have the battery grounded last so if there was a voltage spike or drain it can discharge any voltage. If the positive was only attached the voltage would have no where to go. So you always want to remove positive first and install connecting negative first then positive.
THANKS!Simply and easy to understand. I also was worried about marking wires.
James Jones thanks, I tried to cover as much as I could to be quick and informative.
Where is the screw located to remove the power cord from the fuse box? I cant see or feel it anywhere.
It’s towards the front of the vehicle under the plastic guard that’s a pain to remove, it’s a little over halfway up the box.
