hello every one, got a strange problem with the under hood power distribution box and the little fuses/boxes that plug into it, the long standing problem is that every so often the truck a 94 explorer 6cyl 4.0 (im pretty sure) auto trans 2wd sport will die while driving or refuse to start,the solution has been to wiggle the fuses in the power distro box ,but naturally its gotten worse, one time i got some electronic parts cleaner and dielectric lube and clean it apply the lube and that lasted for several months, but of course the problem retutned, we bought a new power distro box from the junkyard, well i discovered that it was useless , they had cut all the wires rather than pull it with the connectors attached,
recently its gotten so bad were lucky if we can go around the block , i tried making the clips the fuses plug into tighter but that did not work i even plugged one in while i had all the connectors out of the box ,just one of them tho it would not even engage the fuel pump, thats what the main issue is the fuel pump is not getting power so it will just turn over and not start, i can post pics if that would help anybody concoct a solution, my theory is that perhaps because of the after market air breather thats on it pushing against the power distro box its warped the box and making it where they dont connect right any thoughts on a fix for this would be greatly appreciated, my wife starts school next week so a quick fix is needed
