whelp, i've traced some electrical gremlins to a set of garbage 3 gang ato fuse blade bus terminals and wouldnt you know it every crimp tool i have is worthless for this since its got three terminals. Any suggestions on crimp tools for a job well done? Heres a pic of the kind of thing im working with.

You need one like a spark plug wire terminal tool. There are 2 crimps that need to be done.

Like this. only for smaller connectors.

Have a look at this model
Electrical Wire and Cable Angled Crimpers by OTC
Number 5912
Capacity 22 to 10 AWG
Overall Length 9"

If this is no good try crimping tool in your search engine and have a look.

Or.... cut the bar between holes, crimp each wire, then bolt a bar over top of them all to provide path for current flow. Or resoldier the bar back together. No experience, just firing off ideas.

<br /><br />I've been considering this too- think it'll be my last resort if I can't find a good tool. Thanks for the reply!

Was the problems caused by a manual transmission clutch cylinder leaking?

By chance, could you let me know where you got those 3 gang ato fuse blade bus terminals from? Have been looking for some for forever

Been here fuse box gets disolved by fluid . Fixed mine by spliceing in new fuse box. Only way to fix it

It doesn't appear to be related- The plastic block seems fine and with a good cleaning a lot of that filthy dilectric grease came out and she looks alright. My initial thought was that it has something to do with the atrocious radio install that the p/o clearly did while high on PCP.
