Centech wiring harness. Anyone relocate their fuse box?

langester · Jan 21, 2017

I am going to get a new Centech harness. I am thinking about moving the location of the fuse box from the glove box to the dash possibly. I have never been a big fan of the glove box location.
If anyone has done this I would love some ideas and pics of what you did. Was there enough wire to do what you wanted to when you moved it. Any problems or what you would do different. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm considering it when I do a rewire.

I used a fuse box off a mid 90's Cherokee to wire my EFI. I mounted it on under the hood on the fender hump. Lots of fuse and relay space in one of those boxes. I've got to add another one when I add alight bar any more accessories so considering just using it as the main fuse box for the rewire........

There are quite a few people that have relocated their panel to the dash. Most of them settle on the ashtray as their position of choice I think.
Should be some good pics hereabouts. But the glovebox location actually works out ok compared to Ford's original choice of the floor/firewall near the driver's right foot!

Good luck.

Thanks Paul,
I tried a search but was unsuccessful. I know I have seen some somewhere here. I was hoping someone would share a pic, I will try to search again.

I know I've seen them in both the ashtray and speaker location. Try searching thise keywords. The ashtray to me, while cool looking just looks tight to actually work with. The new plastic glove box liners offer a really clean and usable location with no fab required if you ask me. But the centech harness definitely has room to go to the speaker, not positive on the ash tray without modification.

I have the centech harness and put mine in the ashtray it fit fine.

I removed my speaker and moved my glove box over to clear my cage. My cage goes through the dash. I was thinking about the ash tray area as well, or maybe next to it. I have not seen a clean install pic yet. I will search those and see what comes up.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

1971lubr,
I do like the way that yours faces instead of on the side of the glove box. I wasn't thinking of it being mounted that direction. I don't mind that at all. Thanks for the pic!

1971lubr · Jan 23, 2017

Yes, originally facing the passenger door was tough to reach, even worse after the cage install. Now it's easily accessible. That's the plastic glove box liner from jbg, but I'm sure most vendors have a similar style.

langester · Jan 23, 2017

I assume that is the solid liner and not the one with the hole in the side. How did you mount the fuse box?

langester · Jan 23, 2017

Or is that the way the new liner comes?

I have the Painless harness sitting in my garage waiting for the procrastinator to install it. My current fuse box (BlueSea) is screwed to the heater box, and is very accessible. I plan on mounting the Painless there as well, but on a bracket between the dash and heater box. Oh, did I mention that my roll bar blocks the glovebox door, and having a fuse box there would be impossible to service.

Thats the thing I love about this site. I see ideas that I would have never thought of. Thanks for the picture, I appreciate it.

That's the way the jbg liner comes. It is recessed for the stock fuse block, you cut it out. The centech is only slightly larger.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

I looked that item up on JBG. That is a perfect solution, I just assumed everyone had the same 2 glove box liners. With my glove box moved over it puts it right where the speaker used to be.
Thanks again!
