new fuse block?
So looking at my fuse block, or box. From the engine compartment, it looks like i'ts all melted together. I'm not having any electrical issues except my heater.
So i guess im wondering if this is a fairly easy fix? like get a new box, and put the wires back where they go. Or do i need to get more in depth and look into a whole new wiring harness and redo everything under the hood and dash?
I can add pictures tomorrow if anyone wants to see anything.
And thank you in advance for any input..

They do make the tools for popping out the individual wire pins and yes it is time consuming. From what I could see in the picture you have at least eight wires that have suffered excessive current draw. I could not tell if the fuse block was damaged as well. The easiest thing would be to go to the junk yard and grab a doner with about a foot of wire to spare, then resplice in. However if the block is still good just replace each pin connector on the wires that are shot.

You may want to check what you have in the way of current draw on those circuits as well as fuse amperage. The fuses should have blown before that stage. It's a real mess trying to repair after a fire.
