Title: Jbox Question
Post by: The Other Brian on September 08, 2011, 09:36:39 PM: I have successfully rebuilt my jbox after it left me stranded on the side of the road a couple of weeks ago. I replaced all 3 relays, re-flowed all the soldier connections and conformal coated the board to stop any corrosion.

Here is my question - How do you reseal the case when you are done?

Right now I have a coupe of long wire ties wrapped around it, but if there is a better way let me know.

Best ask MOB here.... While I think that the J-Box itself is the same there was a change in a fuse rating and labeling.

Edit for correction.

BOX AND GUTS IS PHYSICALLY IDENTICAL, but label and headlight fuse rating differ...no show stopper.

they do have different part numbers, but either will work in all situations.
