fuse panel placement???

Hi, I used to stick the fuse panel into the wiring of my auto truck, now I have a clutch, that won't work. I'm using zip-ties to hold it to the bottom of my column. How are you manual trans guys doing this?

It clips into the panel under the column. Which is usually broken.

I don't have a clue what EOM even looks like. I can see where there is some mounting holes either side of the column? I though about using some pexiglass to mount it there? Any ideas? Thanks, Artie

Hit the junkyard and find one that's not broken. They are the same for many years of Dodge trucks and Ramchargers.

I have yet to get in a Dodge truck that doesn't have the fuse-block dangling by the wires or tied to the column in some fashion or other.

The factory-issue fuse-block is about as pitiful and inadequate as it gets.


As soon as a few more pressing matters are taken care of, I am eliminating that whole mess from every Dodge on the place and replacing it with some really good units that I have bought just for the purpose.

I am also completely relocating the fuses; probably in a designated panel behind the driver seat.

Actually, it may end up behind the passenger seat, as one would be away from the traffic on the right side.

I think the 70's had the best place. In the glove box.
