Tony Town Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Pics show some damage and the issue of space and wire length to make repairs. Was thinking of using liquid tape if I cant get the wires out of the fuse block to shrink wrap them. Link to comment

Afternoon Tony I don't know if you have enough wire but each of those relay sockets will unlatch & pull out of the fuse box & the fuse holder block will unlatch & pull out . You can also rewove each terminal from the relay socket or from the fuse holder block with a (correct) terminal pick. You should probably remove that red/white wire to inspect that wire's FULL crimping into it's terminal. It looks like something overheated it near the fuse box terminal. If the connection to it's terminal is not good & solid that can allow the red/white wire to turn into a resistor & overheat. Link to comment
Tony Town Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 D.R. my son the volks tech has several of the terminal tools so I am hoping when I see him over the holidays one of them fits. Yes the mauve wire is melted to the red for quite a piece. Link to comment
Tony Town Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Okay got the terminal tool from my son pulled each wire out of the fuse block and taped the damaged ones. Could not use shrink tubing as it does not fit over the terminals. Guess I ll button everything up and see how many more ks we can enjoy on the old girl. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment
