Hello All,
Does anyone know if a replacement fuse bed is available for an 88 - 89 plated 90.
Been to the main-dealer, and unless i wanted to purchase a new Chelsea tractor they didn't seem to want to know. The wiring associated with the fan seems to be overheating, and as part of fixing the issue i would like to replace the bed. Picture below.
Many thanks

Make sure contacts are clean. Also ensure good connection/contact to the fuse. I have the same fuse board In my 85 b reg.
Not found a replacement one.

I think the part number is PRC4826

Sorry, please ignore, this is the blade fuse version!

actually, from memory, isn't the fusebox part of the harness on this model?

Yes this fuse box is part of the harness & not changeable.

If you find a solution I would love to know, I have problems with my 1986 110's fuse box, I've tried everything, new fuses, cleaned contacts etc, still unreliable. I think that your melted fuse will have been caused by heat building up due to resistance between the fuse and holder.

Why don't you use this opportunity to upgrade fuse box to blade fuses.

@Rougharse Racing this does sound bad but small bit of tin foil each end of the fuse. Makes contact better. No faults or melted fuse holders. Even the new holders don't make good contact. Changed 2years ago.
I am changing the loom later this year to bladed fuses.

I guess if a replacement is not available i will have to. Probably just this one circuit though.
Thanks for all the replies.

I have ordered a blade type fusebox, PRC4826, so I will be having a soldering marathon. I suspect that it may get some tinfoil in the short term though.

Wait till you look behind the fuse box

Get plenty of heat shrink

I’ve cut out the offending wires to the fuse and spliced in a separate fuse as a temporary measure three years ago .
