XJ900RK Fuse Box Replacement

Well I was at the local automotive shop today looking for some cleaning products for my Volty when I came across a replacement fuse box, and seeing as I was having trouble finding replacement fuses I decided to replace the whole box. I was surprised how cheap it was for the bits.

This was a really simple job and took me less than an hour.

These are the tools I used: long nosed pliers, side cutters, crimping tool and a phillips head screwdriver.


These are the parts I bought to do the replacement: new fuse box, new fuses for the box, 2 sets of replacement plugs.


This is what it looked like before I started.


I removed the plastic.


Cut the old connectors off and stripped some plastic off the wire.


Fitted new plugs


Connected the new fusebox


Carefully fitted it back in and put screws in to hold it down.


And it's done.



It's that simple, and I now have 2 spare fuse holders for any accessories I decide to fit.

 

Love the pics to go along with the mod they help out very much

 

Funny thing is that the only reason I took a pic in the first place was so I could remember what order the wires went in.. Then I thought, may as well do a thread about it

 

I take pics as I go for the same reason.

And I'll be doing the same Fuse box upgrade to a 900 Seca that's wandered into my garage. Your pictures will help, as I'd rather follow someone elses' successful fix than start from scratch.

 

You shouldn't have any problems, its a fairly simple process, just make sure you have some spare plugs to attach to the wires and make sure the unit you buy fits in the hole, this one is a very tight fit, any wider or taller and I would have had some problems on my hands

 

Great minds eh? Same 6 fuse box, $21.99 @ Repco. Installed on Thursday. Wanted the 2 spares as well.

Slight difference in the way I attached the loom, I snapped the prongs that hold the glass fuses in leaving a square "tag" on the end of each wire. I filed the tag clean then tinned it and the connector on the fuse box then "sweated" them together to provide a strong connection. Will take a snap and see if I can attach to this post (using friend's broadband in town).

 

Sweet but the box cost me $16.55 at Supercheap

 

I snipped the wires and left a small bit of wire there so If I need to I can use the old fuse box on one of my 650's

 

No SuperCheap here, Repco says "We won't be beat on price" so will ask them for my refund next time I'm there.

 

A-ha a cunning plan!

 

Right down to pinning the tail on the weasel hahaha

 

My effort:

 

I checked the local stores and only fuse boxes were rated for 20 amp I needed a thirty amp, so just went with 4 water proof spade fuse holders and a sodering gun and heat shrink tubing, not as pretty as yours but works the same, cost about $12

 

Good stuff... Don't matter what it looks like... As long as it works

Oh and we are talking NZ Dollar... So $20NZ = $13.68US
