How do you clean fuse connectors?
Spray the corroded connectors with the electrical contact cleaner. Scrub the contacts with the old toothbrush to remove the powdered corrosion. Spray the cleaner again to remove the debris. Inspect the surface of the connectors for pitting.
How do you clean relay terminals?
Proper physical cleaning involves drawing the hard glossy paper, soaked in a mild cleaner and polishing lubricant, back-and-forth between the contacts. DO NOT soak the relay. Do not use colored paper, dirty paper, or paper that leaves fibers. WD40 makes an excellent cleaner.
How do you clean a relay fuse?
For relays I usually just pull the relay, spray everything down well, and then plug/unplug the relay a few times to clean the connectors. Then give it a final spraying and you’re done.
How do you remove corrosion from a fuse panel?
You can very carefully clean corrosion from otherwise good fuses with gentle strokes of the wire brush. Another way to clean corrosion from the fuse box is with rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. However, the cotton may stick to the connectors and will need to be removed before reinserting the fuses.
What is the best way to clean electrical connections?
Apply a quick spray of the electrical contact cleaner to remove any dry dust or corrosion. Use vinegar to clean the pins if contact cleaner is not available. Brush the pins again to remove any left over debris. Apply a spray coating of the contact lubricant.
What are the pins in the fuse box?
If you pull off a relay and look at the bottom of it, there should be numbers stamped next to each terminal. Pins 85 and 86 are for powering the coil. Pin 30 should have 12 volts and pins 87 and 87A are the load wires. The factory fuse box does not offer much for expandability. There is only 1 slot for a fuse that I found.
How to tap into the fuse box, the almost factory way?
In order to add these terminals to the fusebox/PDC, you will have to add the terminals to the plugs under the fusebox. Remember, there are multiple sizes, so you have to determine which size terminal you need. Once you get the fusebox off and you look at the pins, you can cleary see there are 3 different sizes, so its easy.
How do I add terminals to my Fuse Box?

How are mini Blade fuses different from relays?
The mini-blade fuse pins are the same size as the relay pins, instead of destroying a relay I chose a mini-blade fuse. Now my ignition system is basically a set of relays that replaces the ignition switch.
What should I do if my fuse holder is cracking?
Pull the fuse from the holder and inspect the metal connectors on the fuse. If the fuse shows any signs of pitting on the surface, replace the fuse, do not reuse it. Inspect the fuse holder connectors. Like the fuse, if the “U” shaped spring holder shows surface damage, replace the holders.
