Changing Fuse Box-Caution

'97 2.5 DSE
I am still trying to fix a longstanding ABS problem. Was advised problem might lie in the fuse box itself.
Acquired a 2nd hand one this morning : after checking, cleaning & generally rearranging was reinstalling when discovered that two pins on the ABS plug on the bottom of the box can be different.
if you are ever doing this check the "Pink/Red" socket on the botom of the box matches your existing. The one I got was pink.........
All others on this box seem identical.
Just thought I should tell you.

thanks for the advice got mine to do when i get round to ordering a new one. think ive narrowed it down to the correct part number of amr6477(for the diesels).

Check the colours of the connectors coming out of your loom. One of the sockets on the fusebox has a different pin set up. Meantime I have another fusebox + relays ( not all ) and have checked everything on it ( within my limited ability) : I'm going to change it in the morning but at £35 it seemed a good deal ( if you happen to have a pink ( as opposed to red)connector.
I've no idea what they'll be charging for a new box but I can certainly get hold of one for around £35 if you're interested. I'm not offering business.....just a helping hand !

The difference is between diesels & petrols. Not always clear from parts catalogues which assume that the board is common.

I've got pics of both sides of the boards if they're any help when you get round to it.
I drew a full diagram of existing fuses/relays before starting.
