328 Fuse box Replacement

Superformance sell a bare PCB for a huge cost, which would mean unsoldering all connectors and swapping over to the new board or sourcing new connectors.

There was someone on this forum a while ago who was also making them, it would be a case of searching. It was a couple of years ago.

 

Check with GT Car Parts in Phoenix AZ.

 

Here's the thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/mondial/163273-new-mondial-fusebox-done.html
Spans several years of "development", and no link to whether they became readily available.
Many posters went with the GT Car Parts rebuild. (google for "328 fuse board")

It was for a Mondial, and his profile shows he hasn't been on in about a year.

The OEM boards are multilayer, so not an easy home build.
But one of the biggest issues is the edge connectors.

 

Check with user Guido or Stefan in the Mondial section, Guido makes fuse boxes that look like they belong in a Russian tank! About $650. No core exchange necessary.

Guido's boxes are hard wired and include new gold plated connectors for the white plugs, very robust and I don't see any way they could fail.

Found a link from Guido with pics and post #10 is about a 328 fusebox:

Scuderia Rampante has replacement boards on their website.

 

Was GT Car Parts able to provide you with a good Fuse Block?

 

I got a replacement box from GT Car Parts for my Mondi 3.2 and the thing is massive. They reuse your connectors, but the board is a brand new super heavyweight copper PCB. It would take a lightning strike to burn through that thing...

 

Hi - I wonder if anyone has a fuse box suitable for a Ferrari 328 that they are willing to part with. Thank you David

 

Suggest try Eurospares, I think they are breaking several 328s

 

Thanks for the reply - I have already tried them and they don't have anything at the moment.

 

Hi, David
I did start a conversation with you.

I just had mine completely rebuilt, call Ferrari South Bay, Torrance California, I dont know where they sent it, all my electrics are now working perfectly. Rod at FAI, Costa Mesa, hes ass****, but I heard he rebuilds them,they may even had sent it to him, I would not be surprised. I paid 1000.00 for the rebuild. You can also call Fast Cars Redondo Beach, Ca, I know they do the Testarossas fuse board rebuilds, its a lot better than buying a used one. I hope this helps.

Thank you

 

Thank you for your help guys.

I was considering GT Car parts but am concerned on the turn around time plus shipping it from the uk.... i have contacted them but the response is sketchy; the other option is from Guido but that means changing the connectors. and losing the insulating blocks from around the fuse terminals.

If I could find a used fuse box I would send it out and have it refurbed and get one back into circulation

 

How long did it take to turn it around? Thanks David

 

Yes I realise it is the US hence my concern about sending my fuse box out

 

Older thread but thought I'd just mention that I got one of Guido's fuseboards for my 328 in the UK and it fixed all of the electrical niggles including the common fuel pump issue. Also dash lights seems brighter. The board is great quality and built to last. Guido sent detailed fitting instructions and was very helpful.

I went with GT Car Parts upgraded board in the end - took less than 2 weeks to turn around and was a straightforward fit. Everything working well - no more random headlights…

 

Beautifully finished with all respect. Enjoy you car !

 

I purchased a new fuse board from GT, it is well made and completely plug and play. They use your old fuse board core, if you want to pay more they may have a core themselves and you can order the item for direct installation. Cost is fine for what it is, and should last 20+ years.

My understanding the is the Guido board is the best built out there, but does require some modification to the wiring connectors. For those who want to fuss a bit, this would be the last fuse board you would ever need, and the connectors are part of the weak link of the stock offering. For those who want a stock like plug and play, the GT Board would be the way to go.
