I think I will be replacing the fuse box since it is crispy for the stop/hazard and blower. How hard is it, do I need to yank the whole dash board and fenders?

I've never done it.

ehh, oh well I guess I will check prices of a harness and box when I hit the yards saturday. I don't foresee it being too terrible.

I've had to follow all my wires in that area before.. Ended up being the main body harness under my feet that was corroded and exposed thanks to water and rust.

In that crazy goose chase, I basically pulled the fuse box out... It's not fun.

I had to pull the whole dash in order to probably access the wires, and still it was a tight fit. I feel like re-wiring it all with a new box will suck.

My advice is rip out everything that looks to be in the way before you fight with it for hours.
