So, I'm new to restoring vehicles, and I'm getting ready to start working on my dad's '71 240z. Lo and behold, one of those problems is a fuse box that is melting due to corrosion on the contacts. My question is this:
- What exactly is causing the corrosion? I have a replacement box, but I don't want to drop it in and then have the same issue occur all over again because I never took care of the actual problem.
I've seen that many people are going through and replacing the wiring harness. Is the original wiring still ok, should I be looking into replacing it simply because it is 37 years old? For what reasons would I need to replace the existing harness?
