awesome,,tnx,,bu why did you remove bolts from the fuse box???..all you have to do is pull fuse box up them just wiggle the plugs loose or use a pry tool to pull them off..they just being held by the tighness of the plug pins,,,,
Thank you for making this video, much more informative then the 2 others I saw that were very short. I have a 2011 that started throwing up the Air bag light then another light, my mechanic quoted the box at $560 from the dealer plus install due to the multiple corroded fuse slots. I couldn't believe it, my box was never opened or removed but when trying to remove the top end all the bottom harnesses stuck to the top. Your video helped me recognize what was going on and I continued the job without further help!! I replaced mine with a used one from ebay for $110 and the lights are all out, running great! Like I saw a couple others say, the bolts that hold the bottom don't have to come out but with limited cable length and the awkward angles you have to get a screwdriver to pry the stuck harnesses off, taking those bolts out does help. That support bracket should be moved out of the way either way as it does give you more access room.
Nice catch on the corroded fuses. Your paying attention to the mechanicals on your vehicle and take care of them as needed. You did a good job explaining the process of replacing the fuse box. Yeah, that "tripping the cruise" thing is weird.
I'd just have to farm it out. Got a master cylinder going on the car monday. Something all the time. The BEST to the scholars and mama and you! God Bless!
people keep telling me to get out of the past and get with modern technology, but but to me things were so much easier and simpler many years ago,, by the way, I have the exact wire stripper that you have,, I love that thing, it's addictive, now I can't find enough wire.. how about doing a video using yours?
I guess the newer cars are safer but they are more or less snap together like the models they sell these days,, I'd like to find a 82 or 84 chevy wagon like I used to have that was a great car. @@shawnmrfixitlee6478
That ground strap was causing many electrical problems on our 2008 Sierra, replaced it and now the parking lights work !!, but it took out the pcb relay for the back up lights ! so we had to replace the junction block .
One person online said that they didn't make them for my truck anymore. I watched a video this morning and the guy gave the oem part number. It was over $300
If you start watching at 10:35 you can see those red “spoons” that I made. They release the tabs and I was able to separate the halves to reveal the circuit board.
@@WallysPlace66 Thanks for the quick reply. I was just double checking because the sites to order this part say that programming or something similar is required by a GM dealer. But that didn't sound right for this part.
I must be having a bad day, this is the third try at responding to your question. My previous answers were to a current problem that I’m having with the truck. I never got a quote for labor on the fuse box.
What issues were you having that caused you to replace that? I have a 2010 and it is starting to throw codes like crazy, just now it did not want you to turn off with the keys out and it went into limp mode while parked also my check engine light is coming on with the keys out of the vehicle
There were many corroded fuse, sockets in the fuse box. I also found out later that there are some bad ground straps, which I have not replaced yet except for the hood to Cowell.

Good question. I watched a video and that's what the guy did so that's what I did.
Thank you so much

Thank you. It was a learning experience for me.
Good work. Glad you didn't have to re-terminate any of those big plugs. Neat idea on making the custom tongue tools.
Thanks stovie. I enjoyed working on it.
Appreciate it brother. The visual really helped. Not all heros wear capes 😁
Thanks man

Thanks Wyatt, I sure hate electrical issues.
@@WallysPlace66 Especially when someone cuts a wire with a capacitor and they don't replace and just ground the wire.
I'd just have to farm it out. Got a master cylinder going on the car monday. Something all the time. The BEST to the scholars and mama and you! God Bless!
Thank you good friend
Likewise my Pal!@@WallysPlace66
Best to both of you guys and I hope Turkey day was good.
I have a question.
Why does the hood need to be grounded?
Yall too with some circular, cilinderized compressed swine. Even!@@mostlymoparih5682
A video on how you refurbished that would be awesome
I just soaked the internal metal part in phosphoric acid and used a brass brush where needed.
Great job Ron ! 👍👍
Thank ya kind sir

I agree Vernon , my 68 Ford Falcon was the best car I ever owned ! and that says a lot coming from a 35 year mechanic ..
I bought mine because I seen where you bought one. Sometimes I impulse buy so I returned it. I never get enough wire to use one.
yeah, I don't have a lot of wire, I did accumulate a lot but now it's all cleaned up.. but it does work great. @@WallysPlace66

Now I have to tear down the top end and put new lifters in. I'm going to do the DOD AFM delete.
That can be very aggravating trying to get replacement parts . Several of the vehicle manufactures use a fuse panels like yours . Good luck Ron

How did you get the circuit board out ?
If you start watching at 10:35 you can see those red “spoons” that I made. They release the tabs and I was able to separate the halves to reveal the circuit board.
Did you have to do any programming or anything? Or was it just plug and play?
Just plug and play
@@WallysPlace66 Thanks for the quick reply. I was just double checking because the sites to order this part say that programming or something similar is required by a GM dealer. But that didn't sound right for this part.
Do you know if the power window relays are integrated in the board?
I believe so.
what would the labor be?..................
