A Short Circuit Problem with the Fuse Panel on the Ford F350 Super Duty

Model: Ford F-350 Phn131 - Years 1999-2007
Part: Fuse box

In this video, we see what could be causing a short circuit on a Ford F350 Super Duty: the battery drains overnight, the headlights turn off, indicating a short circuit issue. The problem might be that water has entered the fuse panel and corroded all the electrical contacts. Fortunately, this model has a backup braking system that takes control of the brake booster; otherwise, it could have led to a serious problem. Inside the box, the electrical contacts are made up of six layers, and all were wet. Our YouTuber removed them and sprayed them with WD-40, but could not remove them all without breaking them, so he had to buy a new box. These boxes are very expensive: you can find them on AliExpress with the code 1005002545221933 for $203.83 plus $39.62 for shipping.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
