luvXR6t Member 10 Member For: 14y 8m 8d Posted 26/03/10 10:52 PM Share Posted 26/03/10 10:52 PM I believe these fuse block assembly's are available on the internet, check that out.It may reduce your reliance on Ford and save.You may be able to tackle this replacement yourself, depending on your technicial expertise.It would be possible to glue the bonnet release in position if you don't care.
