Splice pack replacement
Quick question--
I was in the process of servicing my splice pack ground connectors on each side of the engine frame rail.
On accident, I dropped the back cover of the driver's side splice pack into the abyss of the engine bay, and haven't been able to find it. Even tried with a long magnetized wand to try to fish it out, but it is gone.
Can I replace the back cover of that splice pack? For now I have it taped up to reduce any environmental factors, but this is just short term fix.
If I can't just replace the back cover, is it easy enough to replace the entire splice pack? I would be keen on doing this to try to resolve some electric gremlins I have.
Thanks.

From: Gurnee IL. so close to Wisc. I can smell it when they cut the cheese
The option I chose was to cut all the wires off the splice and solder the wires together. Then I took the wires and put a crimped ring adapter on. Coated the connection with die-electric grease. Cleaned the original ground bolt and frame surface and mounted the wires firmly with original nut. You now have a solid ground connection.
