Looking for someone in Las Vegas nv to help me to fix the wire that breaks . I don't trust it as i have one broken before . There is a lot open spaces in Nevada .
Thank goodness for Dick & ED & all of the people who keep our trucks running when Gm & it's dealers can't...........BIRDDick doesn't Ed Borlan @ED in FLorida make a jumper to correct the bad wire? I remember him doing my fuse box at the Jacksonville rally. He sells the jumper with instructions for a quick permanent fix.

I have one of those setups. It is for use to get home and not for full time use as it bypasses some fuses and relays. That is made clear by ED in the instructions that come with it.Dick doesn't Ed Borlan @ED in FLorida make a jumper to correct the bad wire? I remember him doing my fuse box at the Jacksonville rally.

Agree. :agree
There is a "temporary jumper wire fix" and a "permanent fix" that Ed performs when you send him your fusebox. :thumbs
★★★ The permanent repair is especially of interest to all '05 and '06 owners.

I think Warrior and I are referring to the Temp fix highlighted above and Maybe I misunderstood the initial request. I do not believe that Ed was suggesting others tackle the drilling that he is doing as a permanent fix.If I am wrong then I must say I am sorry for the misunderstanding.I have to disagree with BlueStreak & Warrior=='06. When Ed did my fuse box at the Jacksonville Rally he drilled a hole in the fuse box and insert a wire. He told me it was a permanent fix. I have an 05 and was worried about the issue. Hopefully Ed will see these post and be able to enlighten us all.

Art Bonadies deserves all of the credit for researching, testing and finding the wire issue.Ed, just curious, I assume this is different from, and preferred to, removing and rerouting the original wire?

I can help you if you still need it. Just let me know. I live in Henderson Nevada.Looking for someone in Las Vegas nv to help me to fix the wire that breaks . I don't trust it as i have one broken before . There is a lot open spaces in Nevada .
Hi Chuck, I'm in Henderson. I was thinking we could remove the fuse block and send it to Ed for the repair and then when it gets back install it.Thanks I Will let you know when i can do it . Soon i hope . Where can we do it? I live at Rancho and Lone Mountain ? Let me know did you do yours. Thanks Chuck Styles.
It's really not hard to do at all, I can walk you through it or watch you via video on phone or laptop if you have issues. I would just replace the wire internally, more of a factory style repair and then you don't have a cracked wire inside the fuse box. Just takes a few minutes to do the work with simple hand tools.Thanks I Will let you know when i can do it . Soon i hope . Where can we do it? I live at Rancho and Lone Mountain ?

Guys what are the specs for the replacement wire and where do you get good wire?Only the 05/06 SSR have Fuse Box problem.
And as Ed said the credit goes to Art Bonadies aka abonadies and Marty aka Marty, THEY found the "cracked" wire NOT GM.

1. Ed Borland Fix.
2. "Cracked wire" find under magnifying glass.
3. This is where they ALL crack.
4. New wire, New routing.
5. Fuse Box has to be taken apart to replace New wire.
