What a very nice way to end the night thank you very much for the compliment I greatly appreciate it

[@patdonahue6413]

Perfect. I can tell that comes out, just needed to see how. Now I know. Pulling my engine too. I'd love to see what the next steps are. I'm taking the harness off and trying to just lay it on the battery side on the inner fender. I'll know early tomorrow if that's going to work for me. Thanks for posting this!

He took the time to respond to my questions about the crapy wire harness in my truck. Am going to have to look him up when in Michigan this spring. : ).

[@youtubificationizer]

It would be nice of you to describe what year of truck you're working on in the description...you know, since they change everything on the regular.

[@sharpcarco]

Well the reason that I don’t do that is because mouth breathers don’t understand that vehicles are made for several years that are the same. The reason manufactures do that is to save money producing millions of parts is much cheaper than only producing 100,000 apart And even though they may look a little bit different the function is pretty much the same and the removal is fairly similar as well. Also I take a little bit of assumption that if you’re attempting to remove your fuse box you have a slight bit of mechanical ability...... and were able to look at something and discern possibly how to take it out once you’ve seen a somewhat similar one taking out as well. Sometimes I shouldn’t assume things

Sorry Josh I don’t remember.

Awesome video. Very helpful. Im repairing a harness that a mouse or rat chomped on.

[@braydenwarren6394]

Thank you clay for the great video I’m having trouble with my bright lights they won’t turn off ever I changed dimmer switch didn’t help I changed the on off switch didn’t help so I’m thinking it’s got to be in the fuse box. My question is there a light relay under that fuse box? I’ve been told that but would like to know before I remove the fuse box

[@boymamasquad]

Question about the connectors underneath the fuse block. The connectors you are removing and laying over the engine or removal. Is that an entire engine harness? Or is there a way to replace a singular connector? Also is there somewhere to find out what the name/part number off each connector? On my 2015 Silverado there are multiple connectors under the fuse box like yours, and only one connector is corroding. I’m wondering if just that harness can be replaced or is that just one piece that all has to be replaced.

[@jerryvanderklaauw7173]

So I tried to lift that top portion out and it ain’t budging. I only want to access the bottom of that fuse block not remove the entire fuse tray/box. Other than lifting the two grey handles what else is there to do?? I assume the 3 nuts only need to be removed if I’m removing the entire box,correct. I simply can not get that fuse tray/block out

Great video but does not apply to my 05 ch3vy silverado 2500hd lt 6.0v8 mine is the square with 4 plugs with blue tabs, plus the 4 main harness plugs.

[@sharpcarco]

Well, they’re all similar so even if yours doesn’t look identical to this one, it’s pretty much the same procedure. You really can’t ruin anything taking the fuse box out. Just make sure when you go to put it back in you carefully put the plug back in you can bend the pens, but other than that you really can’t do anything wrong

[@hduke1307]

@@sharpcarco finally found a obscure reference to how you need to pull the blue lock shim then you use a t push pin tool to unlock the pin. Then you can replace the wire in the loom.

Very helpful. Thanks

[@hosssanchez5889]

Great video, quick question when I’m trying to order the part it says it needs reprogramming is this true or just plug and play this is on a 10 Silverado thanks

[@sharpcarco]

It might need to be correlated basically meaning a basic reprogramming I’m so usually dealership would probably be about half an hour charge you can obviously plug it in and try it it is it going to hurt anything and it isn’t going to work any different. But it may cause track stability control, light to be on because the Vin number wouldn’t be programmed to that module. I would assume it would still communicate and probably work eventually re-learning the parameters of your specific vehicle.

[@hosssanchez5889]

@@sharpcarco thanks for taking the time to answer

[@Ryanlikesbroken]

@@hosssanchez5889 Hey bud did you figure out if it needed programming? I ordered one for a 2011 silverado and it says the same thing. Wondering if i'll need to get it programmed. My reverse lights were stuck on and come to find out there is a 2 amp UNSERVICABLE relay that was stuck so i had to replace the fuse box.

The reason im changing my engine wiring harness junction block is my 2008 yukon denali xl keeps stalling while driving on the hwy or just will stall at idle and will not start back up but have to wait 45 min but will stall again i look my problem up on GM web page had a bullitin up about the engine wiring harness junction block is bad need to replace with a newer engine wiring harness junction block amd will not stall any more

[@senorpapi5151]

I have a 2010 and the truck was vandalized they cut the 2 sides harness wire bundles and took the two plugs that plug under the fuse tray and took the tray as well. My question where could I get those bottom plugs and a complete tray with fuses??

[@sharpcarco]

Yes Tim that should be fairly easy you will want to look for one of them junkyards that allow you to pull your own parts then find a fuse box that looks similar and you will be able to cut them off there at least that’s going to be the most economical way Another way is that you can input your ZIP Code into this and search for vehicles identical to yours and that will give you a list of salvage yards in your area that may Have the fuse box and connectors that you’re looking for you will obviously have to call multiple ones , and describe what you’re looking for because generally they do not stock them as searchable items Car-part.com Even though this place does not pay me for advertising I’ve been using them for about a decade and a half and they don’t collect information all they ask for is your ZIP Code you could email them for me though and let them know that they should LOL

[@crapsahoy1]

Blowing the fuse to 02 sensor now don’t see any frayed wiring. Would you suggest removing the fuse box and check wiring

[@ianthahammond7010]

Clay a 2004 Chevy Silverado dually 3500 problem I have is the indicator panel. Nothing works except the indication where the gear is. I know it quit being a electrical or a quick beer fuse but I don't know exactly which one. Can you give me some insight as to which one it can be and how to discover which one it is or if I just have a broken indicator panel

So when you put fuse box back in dose it go all the way down on all side if so having problems getting it to go in all the way only one side other side won't go

[@juanmarshall4083]

trying to remove the fuse box surrounding cover on an 04 Suburban to do some work around it. I am shocked that no one has taken the fuse block out of an 04 Suburban or any similar fuse blocks.

[@sharpcarco]

It is definitely the same for the most part. Manufactures need to make as many of one part as possible so they Can save money on production cost so they don’t make a lot of different types of fuse boxes they generally just make one particular type a fuse box and add and delete things that they do not need for other models I hope the video was helpful

[@dannyg7823]

I just pulled and rebuilt the 5.3 in my 2010 silverado. There's a flat 4 or 5 pin connector coming that's connected next to the oil sensor connector. I can't remember where it plugged into. Please help! If you can. I can't find it nor do I remember u hooking it. Thank you! Love the music BTW! Haha

I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body Style, 5.3 Liter, How hard is it to put the block back on once I inspect for any corrosion ? My truck will not crank / start and when I try I see the check engine lite on, Battery OK, Grounds OK, Mega Fuse OK, All Fuses OK, Relays OK, Tapped starter and still no crank. Any idea of the problem ? Thank you.

[@sharpcarco]

Not hard at all.. It’s really simple.

[@brandonbentz8995]

Are the two bolt studs in the front of the fuse box fused?

[@brandonbentz8995]

And what do they for?

[@sharpcarco]

Well, that depends on if they’re connected to the other one do you see a fuse? If you don’t, they’re not fused, they are Extra Post for adding extra power or accessories that did not come with your particular truck, but come on other models of trucks. Obviously, I’m sure you understand but probably never really thought about it. It wouldn’t make monetary sense for a manufacturer to manufacture 10 different fuse boxes it’s cheaper for them to manufacture one and put them in 10 different model vehicles. . That’s why they’re there, but probably not used. Hope that helps you Brandon. Have a great day.

[@babysucio4464]

Hey man I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado and the reduced engine power quites coming on but I narrowed it down to the wires in between the fender and fuse box how do I get to that

[@sharpcarco]

Well usually wires don’t break when they’re wrapped up in tape unless there was some kind of incident that happened prior knowing what I know about these fuse boxes I would recommend taking it out and separating it you’ll probably find corrosion in it it’s very common for these sorry I do not know how to remove that wiring loom off the top of my head

[@vvsg6248]

how to do you take the plugs out do you just pull them out because I’ve tried on my Silverado and they are stuck in there

[@sharpcarco]

Well sometimes they have a screw in the center of them And sometimes they have what’s called a camlock Generally the fuses just go right into the plug so that might be why you are unable to remove it You can take your cell phone and take a couple of pictures of the fuse box and then remove all the fuses and it may make them plugs come out a lot easier we careful though make sure you put the fuses back where they go

[@sharpcarco]

It could but…… it could be the switch, the sensor for the running lights or other things You can remove the fuse box and take it apart it will be obvious if the box is bad more than likely what you will find is corrosion inside there at the most and you just need to clean it up and put it back together if it’s your box…..
