Everybody who owns a Falcon has cussed the design of the
factory fuse box. Let's admit it, it’s a joke. Not only it’s a PITA to
replace a blown fuse on a good day. Remember these cars are pushing 50 years old and
Mother Nature is catching up on the wires making them hard to work with and increasing
the chance of damaging the fuse box itself. Matter
of fact. mine is chipped on the edge where the clip should catch the headlight
switch

I bought 2 of these fuse blocks at
Napa
and installed them stacked together and bolted them under the dash. One is Hot all the time, while the other is switched with the key.
This gives the electrical system a place to grow. Now
I have a place to wire up a sound system, trunk release, seats, choke, and
other accessories.
A colleague on one of the forum that I visit suggested that I should feed the switched power supply through a relay as a result taking the load off the switch. Thanks again for the tip Jeff |

Now when the day comes to change a fuse it can be done without me having to stand on my head or disconnecting the battery cable, or getting into the my toolbox to remove the light switch. I'm looking forward to have a fuse needing replaced now! Talking about 'Plug-N-Play'

I used a relay bank from a Dodge Caravan for the
electric fans, water pump and headlight. This keeps the big amps closer
to the device instead of coming inside the car and then going back where
it started from. The junction box feeding the relays is mounted close to the rack.
