Fuse box repair vs replace? Its time unfortunately

[Andy J]

Hey guys,
Last night i got the dreaded buzzing from the fuse box before my fuel pump cut out twice. I have done some reading, and apparently it either needs to be replaced or repaired. As luck would have it, i sent my good soldering iron to a friend a few states over so i dont have it.

Question for yall...
Has anyone used one of the fuse box repair services you see on ebay? If so what did ya think? Im debating on going that route vs buying a new one as we are expecting our first baby any day now and cash is at a premium.

Its for my 03 navigator.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Andy

Dude...
you're looking at $4-8 max for the replacement relay needed to do the repair, instead of $300-400 for a replacement. think of all the "good soldering irons" you can buy and still save money doing it yourself! Best part is... you know its done right and it wont fail again in a few years
