Burnt Corolla Fuse Box - How Do I Fix?

A fuse burnt and it caused the fuse box (near the steering wheel) to burn a bit and deform.

Any auto electricians know how to access the wires that feed that fuse, to wire in a surrogate fuse holder as opposed to taking off half the dash to access the fuse box?

Car is a great 2000 Corolla.

    24 years and still going, what a beast. I wonder if the cheap cars flooding the market will last this long.

    Yes, I'm sure any auto electricians will know how to access the wires that feed that fuse and wire in a surrogate fuse holder.

    You'll also have to resolve the reason it went into meltdown mode. Do you know what caused that?

    Post some pictures if you want advice on fixing it.

  • Best bet is probably to pull it out and trace the wires from behind the panel. That is, pull apart the car.

    However, if you dont know what youre doing its better left to someone else. If you have to ask this sort of question on a bargain forum, you likely don't have the skills to do it safely.

    If I'd spent 4 years doing a highly skilled trade on apprentice wages I'd love to give you the answer for free.

      Yeah, and tomorraā€™ is satā€™dy, so heā€™s open all day, just drop it round and heā€™ll have a geez at it for ya. Just donā€™t forget to bring a carton of piss and a box ā€˜o dartsā€¦

    2000 corolla.

    you should be able to remove panel trim around the fuse box.

    that should give you easier access.

    you don't have to remove the half the dash to take that panel

    if it doesn't come off easy then use a dremel to persuade it.

    This sounds like an ā€œif youā€™ve got to askā€ situationā€¦
