Interesting that you mention this. Whatever springs that were put on my newly purchased Z are amost completely bound. It seems that I may have at max 2" of compression travel. Those will be replaced soon.

I might consider it since the original fuse box that is in the car has seen better days.

I might consider it since the

All the wiring is in excellent shape and the only aftermarket electrical item on the car is a new headunit. The fuses are also the correct size per the fuse box cover. I went to checkers last night and picked up all new fuses and some of the electrical contact grease so I should be set for awhile. I am still wondering if the aftermarket blade style fuse box is worth it...

Measured the resistance at the fuse holder and then all the way along the path to the multifunction switch and everything checked out fine. I then reseated all of the connectors, at least the ones I could find. I did this at the fuse block on the steering column and at every light socket this morning trying to track down a potential problem. I am fairly certain that the harness is good. I did what you all recommended and cleaned the fuse holder with some 1500 grit and wala, no more heat. Found a couple more that were getting a bit warm so I'll tackle those tomorrow after work. Do you think it would be beneficial to drop the cash on one of the aftermarket fuse boxes? Thanks for the help!!!

I was hoping that is what it was. From reading some other "similar" posts that was going to be my next course of action. Am I right in assuming that it is for sure not a short due to it not popping the fuse?

So I am a new proud owner of a 72 240z and have a couple questions How warm do the fuses get while being used ie Headlight and Parking/Running Lights. I have not popped a fuse yet but when looking at the fusebox the AC and Parking Light slots are melted, if it is a short somewhere I imagine it would pop a fuse immediately, could be wrong though. I know it is not any of the light subharnesses because I unplugged them all and the fuse was still quite warm. Are there any likely areas where the harness is routed that is a common issue for wearing off shielding? Thanks
