Default Fuse block access - 08-18-2004 , 08:24 PM






Would anyone know how to get the fuse block out of the dash on a '92 Grand
Am? Would like to take a good look see at the connections on the back side.
Suspect a possible loose wire there. The shop manual says to take the sound
insulator off and then remove screws holding the fuse block. They must have
changed something after the shop manual was written. Don't see any screws
and don't see anyway to get it out short of taking off the large piece of
plastic surrounding the so called convenience center.

Gave up on trying to get the fuse block out. Looked at all the wires on the
back side of it carefully through the small hole in the dash for the panel
light switch. Checked resistances from the ignition switch wiring to the
fuse side of the block. Everything looked good. Thanks anyway.

Good thing you wrote back. I was going to tear mine apart just to see.
Strange things do happen but I would not expect anything to go wrong at
that place. Everything is crimped on, it's a reasonably dry location,
no moving parts, and vibration wear should be negligible.

I was just trying to make sure all the stones were turned over during my
investigation. However, this particular stone was way too big and like you
say probably had nothing lurking beneath it in the first place. Thanks for
your interest.
