I was out in the garage tonight trying to trace down why my fog lights dont work and I just happen to notice this junction block on the driver side fire behind the master cylinder...burnt to a crisp. Other than the fog lights the electrical system seems to work perfectly what is this block for? (http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc377/shanebo79/124294.jpg)
Here is a shot of the fuse box....There is alot of extra wires plugged into in yet they are installed neatly and securly, There is no extra electronics on the car, would this be someones by-pass of that burnt up panel? My brain is smokin!! I cant figure out how this thing is still running good with those burnt up wires. (http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc377/shanebo79/124295.jpg)
That's just the junction block for getting all those under-dash wires out to the engine bay to go whereever they need to go. The "add-on" stuff on the fuse box looks like the factory "option" connectors to me. Get the wiring diagram to trace them down (I think its on the Nest somewhere). I don't think its a hack.
you sure its burnt? looks more like road grime and sealant to me,,
now i wanna run out and look under my hood,,
so i did,, and looks like mine

Huh :-\ .....Ill be be darned, I dont know how I never noticed that on the 9 other eagles ive owned through the years, but I just went and looked at the other 2 wagons I have and sure enough they look just like that...You just made my day n9xvt!!!I would have sat up all night stressing about that....what is that stuff? some kind of sray silicone or somthing? It sure has the appearance of fried plastic...got my blood preassure up for sure. If only every problem was as easily resolved as this one!!!
not real sure,, but from factory experience we used hot melt glue,, worked in alphabet JCI for about a year and we injected it in there,,those connectors <on GM anyway> got the glue and a stick on gasket,, keeps water out of footwells,,glad i made you day a bit better though! :occasion14:
That would have been a nightmare to replace all that wiring...and I hate doing electrical work...I screw it up 60% of the time....Thanks again!!
