[QUOTE="banjoman69, post: 120607, member: 14012"] You might give a look at the fuse panel. Very bad design as it has a rubber/plastic bladder surrounding the metal cover. I guess the thought process was to seal it so tight that water couldn’t get into the panel. However anytime rubber or plastic is involved you‘ll get condensation, which is what happened to mine. Water within through the temp change of the heat of the motor and outside temp variations caused condensation in the fuse panel area and all fuses are corroded . I have bypassed some because a new fuse panel comes with wiring and is several hundred dollars but worse is the labor if you can’t do the job yourself. Imo poor design. I drilled a couple of small “air” holes in the bottom of the fuse panel cover, too little too late I suppose. Makes me feel better however. Worth looking in to I think. [/QUOTE]
