Title: fuse box cover ASAP
Post by Torbayboy on Sep 4^th, 2018, 1:43pm

Hello scorpioers, seems my car has had an idiot for a previous owner who GLUED THE COVER ON the central fuse box !!!

Only discovered this when checking the ABS & TC light on problem

So please I need a central fuse box cover ASAP.

Mine looks like a mastic mess!!! only way to get at the fuses etc is to disintegrate the cover and scrape of all the ****, seen some dumb things in my life but this takes the biscuit - supposing the fuses blew and started a fire, cant even see them to put the blaze out and another Scorpio dies!

Roy, before you wreck the cover if it is only mastic have you thought that warming it ...gently...with a hot air gun might enable you to lift it off and clean it up? I've found this technique works in many situations. ;)

Sound advice - thanks Simmo ;)

Will get the spanner man to try that when the car goes in for fixing.
I was more than a little mad when I discovered this as it is completely unnecessary. >:(
