Any reason you would need the block and not need the harness? What's up with your block?

Contacts on the block are rusty and need replaced.

Buy a new harness. The fuse block is just that...the black plastic block. AS for the terminals that are rusty...they are crimped onto the wiring....and being specific...you can not buy them unless you buy anew harness...or get them out of an old wiring harness....and then all the time to change everything over and solder and shrink-wrap it would...FOR ME....be a waste of time and cost prohibitive.

I agree with DUB. I had to change mine because of a drunk driver hitting me and the two fuse block holes were broken off... no way to hold the block to the car. That is how the insurance company gave me the car, after all of the other repairs. I was able to go to a junk yard and get a used one that matched. You will not hardly be able to find one now, that way. Lou.
