I need some advice with a fuse box issue

[Rays240sx]

Hi Guys.

I am new to the 240sx forums and I just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago and its been running fine. But the other day I had my mechanic look at it and Once I turned it on I noticed some smoke coming out of the the positive cable on the battery. So I turned off the car and started to look where the smoke was coming. I opened up my relay box and it really wasn’t in the best condition (ill post a picture), but I was hoping to get some advice on where I could find the red adapter for it… or even if I could install an aftermarket one? I just bought a fuse box off of a 95 to be on the safe side and it looks exactly the same as mine but it was out of an automatic. So Im wondering if anyone knew if it could be compatible with my 95 manual?

My old fuse box doesnt have these connectors, would that be an issue?

Those plugs are for the automatic.

Make sure the problem is not external to the fuse/relay box before you let the smoke out again.

Yeah once you let magic smoke out of electronics they tend not to work anymore.... odd....
