Consumer Description

MY 2012 FORD FIESTA HAS NO FILTRATION SYSTEM TO PREVENT SALT AND MOISTURE FROM GETTING INTO THE ENGINE FUSE BOX. LAST YEAR, A MECHANIC REWIRED THE FUSE BOX LOW BEAM RELAY TO A DIFFERENT FUSE, NOW THE CORROSION HAS STARTED UP AGAIN. THIS FORCES ME TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS UNTIL I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUSE BOX, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE AND CAUSES ME TO BE UNSAFE UNTIL I FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS ONLINE.
