The 2003 fuse box is a "dumb" box should you decide to start the ts there.

The usual problems have been overloaded the fuel pump circuit or spade connectors that have opened up due to the hot/cold cycles encountered though use over time.

Disassembly is pretty straightforward, take a pic of fuse locations so that you have a location chart by color once you start the reassembly. Once it is apart you can use needle nose pliers to squeeze the terminals to make the fuse connections more secure.

Good Ideal I will do that.

Hi guys ! Not sure if I can jump in here. Apologize if not. 98 EB 5. 4 / I have fuse box & gem out to clean & inspect. Trying to get fuse box apart to clean, tighten up, whatever I find. Copper plates & such. My question is about the connection that goes thru fuse box that holds wiring harness to box & box to frame under dash. Are they pressed in ? That's what I think. Two of them on upper part of box. Aluminum. How to get them out to separate fuse box & get inside ? Or at least know what those type of fittings t are called ? Thanks for any helpful tips.

Never has to open one of those and they do look as though they press in. If you have a heat gun you may give that a shot on the low setting.
