    finally installed my birdman fuseblock today. went pretty straight forward. only mistake was mixing up the fuses. once that was rearranged all seems ok. now i have a clicking sound coming from the left side of the dash. seems to be coming from a white plastic plug connector or thereabouts. it's not related to the flashers, they're working ok but it's a regular clicking sound. any thoughts? electrics have always plauged me in every vehicle i've ever owned. is it just my bad karma

    Rick...I'll be very interested in the end result. This is the next thing I'm doing to mine.

    Did Birdman pay you to say that? (haha) I'm doing this to mine very soon and interested in what your mistake was.

    This is the first I have seen of this! I had nothin' to do with it!!

    So what was the problem? The only thing that can "go wrong" with the new fuseblocks is that they provide power to a circuit that previously had none because the old fusebox was toast.

    Oh, and if you install with the OEM fuseblock screws instead of the shorter ones I supply, you can pinch a wire behind the dash and short something out. Is that what happened?
