  Q: How to replace the underhood fuse box on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  The first step for electrical junction block or underhood electrical center replacement requires disconnecting both negative Battery Cable and positive battery cables from underhood Fuse block terminals. Start by removing tape from the wiring harness base at the underhood Fuse block and then disengage the underhood Fuse block(s) clip retainers with a small flat-bladed tool. Remove all nuts from the underhood Fuse block base before you pull down the base from the shock tower while also lifting off the Fuse block(s) and wiring harness. A small flat-bladed tool must be utilized to eliminate underhood Fuse block lower front terminal positive assurance retainers and plastic shields from the Battery Cable and buss bar terminals. You should start by removing the jumper bar bolts from the buss bar and then take the jumper bar off from the Fuse block(s). The buss bar(s) extraction starts after removing fuses to gain access to the terminal release tabs. Then apply a terminal releasing tool until the buss bars detachment occurs from the Fuse block(s). Users must remove the Fuse block clip retainers from underhood vehicle Fuse blocks at the Battery Cable and buss bar terminal points where they can pull each retainer away from the Fuse block. Drain the power from the Fuse block and lamp wiring harness by removing them from the vehicle if required. Place the underhood Fuse block Battery Cable together with buss bar terminals on their respective positions until they reach full seating. Next apply pressure to press the buss bar into the Fuse block for complete seating. After placing the underhood Fuse block terminal positive assurance retainers in position you should install the fuses which you earlier removed. Tighten the buss bar jumper bar bolts to 9 n.m (80 lb in) after reattaching it to the Fuse block(s). The installation of underhood Fuse block(s) requires first to press them into the underhood Fuse block base retaining locks until they reach full seating. Place new tape around the wiring harness at the underhood Fuse block base then position the base onto the shock tower while installing its nuts and tightening them to 9 n.m (80 lb in). After securing the underhood Fuse block to its base using retaining locks and securing positive Battery Cable nuts to 15 n.m (11 lb ft) the process ends by reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.

  Q: How to replace the left instrument panel fuse box on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  The first step before replacing the left instrument panel electrical center or junction block is disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. Access the instrument panel (IP) cluster through adjusting its trim plate before disconnecting the body wiring harness from the junction block. First disengage the junction block bolts then remove the junction block tab from the slot present in the cross vehicle beam to extract the junction block fully from the ip. Routing the body wiring harness to the new junction block must be followed by positioning the junction block tab into the slot of the cross vehicle beam. Screw and tighten the junction block bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Secure the junction block harness by tightening its body wiring harness connector bolt to 7 n.m (62 lb in). The final installation steps require replacement of the instrument panel (IP) cluster trim plate followed by the negative Battery Cable reinstallation.
