    I ordered the fuse box replacement from Birdman for my 308 QV and later I found out from him he’s no longer making/selling them.

    I went to eBay and found the same replacement for $180 and installed it today in 1 hour. I must say my windows are faster and my hazard lights flash faster too. VERY happy with my purchase.

    Question, my one fuse has been popping even before I purchased the car, so the clock, buzzer and more importantly the horn does not work. Any tips for finding the short? Thanks in advance

    Might be the lighter. I had the exact same problem and it turned out to be a short in the lighter. I replaced the lighter. Problem fixed.

    Looks like they’re not on eBay right now—try contacting seller. My windows are so fast now

    Ersel,

    You need to email Jason and be patient...He will get back to you ;)

    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.

    Follow up: The short was the cigarette lighter. It’s disconnected now until I purchase a new one.
    Happy that my horn works and the ignition buzzer that I never heard before. lol
