You have a dead short on the main feed. Replacing the box probably wont fix it unless you find it near the box with it out. Jmo

It’s clearly a circuit short and the fuse box getting excessively hot is a dead giveaway away of something not regulating/relay not switching when it’s suppose to.

Hi Thomas, perhaps get a topdon tc005 thermal imaging camera to help with electrical and stuff like worn wheel bearings.

I’d start unplugging relays and fuses one at a time see if you can narrow it down that way before buying a fuse box it has another issue rats probably chewed up wires in the fuse box

I'm the guy who owns this truck, and yeah, that was my immediate thought when he pointed it out (it was midnight and raining when it started acting up, I didn't see the droppings when I first looked. I smelt that burnt electronics smell near the fuse box, and as a prior avionics technician decided to not play with anything, disconnected the battery and waited to call an adult, lol) I sure hope this saga won't be like the one when I owned a 100+ year old home where I found a lot of old termite damage!

@@agentnightmare6486 the best preventative maintenance you can do to avoid rodent damage is literally, im not joking, sprinkle chili powder all over the place. Toyota has a TSB where they actually tell their techs to do this. Its not a 100% fix but it helps. Best of luck!!

Always keep mouse traps going in cars that sit outside. That is if you don’t want a multi-thousand dollar bill one day.

If you unbolted the fusebox and looked at the bottom you can access the wires. There are probably some that were chewed. I guarantee thats the issue instead of a whole box

Rodents will chew wiring, seen it in a scrapyard, they build nests if they sit for awhile, ford fusions are known for having wiring made partially from soybean products which rats will chew on, knew a guy that had a fusion with chewed wiring ford would not fix it. Sad tp say.

The Chevy Express/G-Van has the same cooked fuse box issue as well.

The idea to replace the whole fuse box is very premature. Find the fault first, pull the box out and if you don't see anything on the back/open, then one by one, fuses and relays come out. It might just be frayed wiring and the box itself doesn't need replaced except that now, it may already be a bit charred or molten. Take it loose and see! You have to do that anyway if it needs replaced.
