Fuse box

Post by Greenmachine96 » Fri Aug 29, 2025 9:07 pm

Hi
How do I replace wires running to the back of the fuse box? Obviously there's a wire with a female connector (which the fuse then sits in), but do I just pull it all out, or is there a connector tab or something to release it?
Thanks

In my experience (with motorcycles anyhow) yes, they usually have a tab to hold them in position.
I’m sure someone will come along shortly to advise whether this is the case for the Bongo too.

Yes there are tabs and a lot of the fuses on the power side are all interconnected. What are you trying to achieve ?

Its normal to put an extra loom in to connect to the LB if that is what you are trying to achieve, much easier than trying to split the feeds and power them separately

The wires then go back to the LB with a small fuse panel there, you transfer the fuses from the main block to the added one.

I've posted before that my AFT does not want to run when the engine is on. It will only work when the engine is off and it's not enjoying it. So I'm trying to fix whatever was done to it.

There's a connector lurking behind the fusebox, which has a thick green cable and a thinner white cable. On mine there's a spliced cable combining the two and then just shoved into the fuse box.

But on my older bongo, the green wire connects to that back if the fuse box at the AFT fuse. The white wire goes into something in the footwell.

So basically I'm just trying to put it all back to original. But after some failed attempts to do this with some temp wiring, the AFT does not work with engine on. No flashing roof light on dashboard ever.

I need to buy the wiring diagrams.

Can someone tell me, are they in colour? Am I going to be able to use them to trace wires?

Thanks

UC browser doesn't work for me to see the Flash site. I've tried it on Android and Chromebook - no joy.
