This is an aftermarket replacement using modern mini-blade fuses instead of the original bullet-type fuses. This means significantly improved electrical performance across your entire vehicle (reduces voltage drops across the fuse box from ~0.5V+ to less than 50mV). In many cases, this results in brighter lights and faster power windows -- as well as resolving some of the "ghosts in the machine".

The new fuse assembly is a drop in replacement for the original two fuse boxes, and it typically takes about an hour to replace. Unlike the original, the new solution is a single piece. This also means the original fuse covers do not work -- so a replacement cover is offered. In addition to upgrading to modern fuses, the new fuse box offers an LED system to help locate burned out fuses as well as space to store 3 spare fuses.

The fusebox assembly is $450 USD + shipping worldwide. This includes the fuse board, fuses, base plate, fasteners, cover, vehicle specific decal, and installation manual. All boards are individually tested before shipping.

If interested, please send email to: [email protected]

I'll need Full Name, Year/Model/Spec/Drive, Shipping Address and Paypal Address to process your order. This is just a hobby for me, so please be patient. I'm usually able to respond with a day or two, but I am sometimes away from the shop.

Thanks!!!

 

Thanks so much to all who've requested fusebox's in the past 24 hours since I put up the classified!

Also, please wary of spoofs. Any email communication from me will only be in response to an email request from you. And it will only come from the email address listed above.

 

FYI for GT4 owners: pricing for the fusebox assembly is $460 USD ($10 more than the GTBx/GTSx). I'd forgotten to include that in the original listing.

The GT4 has a lot less room in the glovebox, which means Ferrari had to run the wiring harness "sandwiched" between the fusebox and the backing plate. This means that the baseplate for the new fusebox solution is a bit more complicated than the GTB/GTS baseplate -- and a bit more expensive.

Roughly 10% of all the assemblies that I've supplied to date are for GT4 owners -- the solution works very well. It's just higher cost

Sorry for not including that info in the original listing.

 

Hey all,
I've exhausted my existing supply of RHD boards (still have plenty of LHD boards and continue to re-stock). I'm trying to figure out if I should place another manufacturing order for more assembled RHD boards.

In the past four years, I've sold LHD to RHD boards in a 10:1 ratio -- so it's not clear if there's enough demand to place an order for more.

Please let me know if you've got a RHD 308 and are potentially interested in next few years purchasing a fuseboard solution. You can just use the "Like" button.
thanks,
Jason

 

Hi Graham,
I just sold my last RHD assembly a few months ago

However, with your request, that makes at least four folks who'd express some interest in a new run -- so I'll get the ball rolling. I'll contact the fabrication/assembly house and check on timelines, but I'd guess it'll be a couple months lead time.

I'll ping this channel when the RHD assemblies are back in stock.

Also, I've had to move my shop over the winter break, so many thanks to the customers who've been patient with me while I've prioritized getting the new space up and running. I should be ready to start shipping out w/in the next week.

Thanks!
Jason

 

Mitchell,
Unfortunately, my solution doesn't fit the 328.

The 328 moved to a much larger assembly that incorporates the fuses and relays into a single solution. It still uses "bullet" style fuses (boo) and can have de-lamination issues in the circuit board -- so it can still be a weak point in the electrical system.

I believe that GT Car Parts has a solution that replaces the circuit board (you have to send them your old one, as they re-use the plastic housing). There may be others as well.

Good luck!
Jason

 

Heh... well clearly that's what I get for doing a quick internet search on 328 fuse panels. Strangely, with more internet'ing, it looks like Ferrari made both blade and bullet fuse versions for the 328? Is that right?

 

@dyerhaus Unfortunately with the current solution, there is no easy way to get the original fuse covers to fit. I've thought about redesigning to make it work, but it'd be a significant amount of work and would likely increase cost (custom base to add the cover pickup features + handling 2 assemblies instead of one). Also, as this is just a hobby for me, I just don't have the time to chase this rabbit.

Having said that, you should check w/the judging body at the concours events you attend. Often, safety upgrades are allowed, especially if discrete or hidden. I believe even Pebble and Amelia allow battery cutoff switches, so long as they are hidden from view.

 

Quick update:
I'm down to a handful of Left-Hand-Drive (LHD) assemblies and am completely out of stock on Right-Hand-Drive (RHD).

After waiting for as long as possible for this tariff mess to settle down, I felt I couldn't wait any longer and pulled the trigger on ordering new supply of *both* RHD and LHD assemblies. Tragically, as a result of the tariff uncertainty, some of the components aren't in stock at suppliers and it's looking like it'll be at least a month before they're back -- at which time the assembly can actually start.

So my guess is new assemblies won't be in my hand until late July. Fingers crossed that tariffs stay stable between now and then (already 10% higher costs )

In the meantime, I'll continue offering the remaining LHD assemblies until they are all sold out.

Thanks,
Jason
