You can see the plastic was melted and the metal leads were corroded.

The hanging plastic end was eliminated as well. I just snipped the wire off.

I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do. I had two vague ideas. One was to use inexpensive female connectors. And the other idea was the slightly more expensive blade fuse unit.

I tried both methods. They both worked.

This image is the Auto Zone blade receptacle. They run a few bucks, but not worth it.

I ran the main 15 amp fuse through this. I soldered the cables to the wiring harness.

This is the better method. Inexpensive, and no soldering. I just crimped those female ends onto the exposed wires.

Here is a shot of the empty spot were the old fuse holder use to be. Cleans up nicely.

For now, I just zip tied them together and let them hang there. Later I’ll figure out how to hide them under the seat.

This will be my next project: getting rid of those decaying off-white plastic connectors. There is no need for them.
