UNDERHOOD FUSEBOX

Is there a write up for removing and cleaning the connectors? My 08 is having the chaotic electrical issue.

It is impossible to help with these posts. Please tell us more so we can help you. Have any abnormalities happened recently? What are the symptoms? What has been customized from stock? What is the problem? What have you tested already?

i apologize. My stock 08 PPV is having intermittent power loss at start up. It can go days without a problem then back to back issues where turning the key does nothing. Or lights flicker, gauges move up and down then settle. I unhooked and cleaned the distribution block by battery which did have a loose connection and seemed to remedy the problem for a bit. Then a few days ago it did similar thing, but fired up on second attempt.

I read that pulling underhood fusebox revealed corrosion issues. Just looking for some pics or advice.

Clean all your grounds first. Battery, chassis and engine. I had a similar issue and the grounds were the problem.

I never had ground issues becuse I did the big 5 dual battery upgrade. But I had a connection problem at the ECM on the drivers side inner fender. I started the car and wiggled the hell out of the 2 or 3 huge plugs and the car died. I sprayed the hell out of them with contact cleaner and then put lots of dielectric grease on the plugs. That was probably 3 years ago. Also, it might be a good idea to do every single plug on the car like this. Corrosion will happen but this will definitely slow it down.
