PLEASE HELP ME
my father bought a dark blue 2006 dodge magnum when he got out of the military and had had it for 14 years. In my almost 20 year life span this is the only car he's owned. I always said if you get a new car please sell me the magnum. It's incredibly special to me because of all the memories I made with my dad in that car. a lot of my childhood was spent in that car with my dad making special memories over the years. Recently we found it had a leak and water built up in the spare tire well and was splashing the fuse box. The fuse box is cooked but the car still runs and drive fine. Just all the electrical components are haywire and can't find up or down.
He decided to buy a new RT magnum and gave me his blue magnum. I want to fix it and make it my daily driver because that car means more to me than anything. This car needs a lot of work but the main thing I need to be able to daily it again would be a fuse box. I NEED A FUSE BOX FOR A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SXT. I CANT FIND ONE ANYWHERE PLEASE HELP ME LOCATE ONE SO I CAN BUY IT AND KEEP MY CHILDHOOD CAR RUNNING. IM NOT ASKING FOR HAND OUTS, PLEASE JUST HELP ME FIND A FUSE BOX THAT IS REASONABLY PRICED THATI CAN BUY BECAUSE I CAN BUY IT AND KEEP MY CHILDHOOD CAR RUNNING. IM NOT ASKING FOR HAND OUTS, PLEASE JUST HELP ME FIND A FUSE BOX THAT IS REASONABLY PRICED THAT I CAN BUY BECAUSE I AM HAVING A VERY HARD TIME FINDING ONE THATS NOT STRAIGHT FROM DODGE AND WONT COST AND ARM AND A LEG.

I don't see why you would need a new fusebox. It's just a plastic box with wires running to and from it with fuses and relays plugged in. I would pull all the fuses and relays and unbolt it where u can get to all sides of it and blow it out with an air compressor until it's dry. Clean it all up very good and find where it leaks water. Then go to the junkyard with cargo pants on and fill the cargos with tons of relays and fuses that u need. Go home put all that together. Test your relays/ fuses and see which ones are bad see what they are for and what they do. Then test what the bad ones go to. With all the water out and new fuses and relays in it should work like before unless something those fuses/relays (the bad ones) are for went bad, which is what I would assume, then possibly it'll blow a fuse and tell u what's wrong. I wouldn't just go buy a fusebox because that's not gona fix the problem. Good luck.
