Fuse Box Mounting Bracket
$70.00
- Type: This part number refers to a mounting bracket, support, or housing component specifically designed to securely hold and position one of the vehicle’s fuse boxes (or fuse cases) within its designated location. It is a structural element, not an electrical one.
- Function: The primary functions of the Fuse Box Mounting Bracket are crucial for the integrity and protection of the vehicle’s electrical system:
- Secure Mounting: Firmly holds the fuse box in place, preventing it from rattling, shifting, or becoming disconnected due to vehicle vibrations, impacts, or road irregularities.
- Protection: Helps protect the fuse box and its internal electrical components from physical damage, moisture, and debris, depending on its location and design.
- Proper Positioning: Ensures the fuse box is correctly oriented for easy access during maintenance (e.g., checking or replacing fuses) and for proper routing of electrical harnesses.
- Vibration Dampening: May incorporate design features to absorb vibrations, protecting the delicate electrical connections within the fuse box.
- Components: Typically consists of a molded plastic or stamped metal frame, bracket, or tray. It will have specific mounting points for attachment to the vehicle’s chassis, body structure, or another sub-component, and integrated clips, tabs, or slots for the fuse box itself. It does not include the fuse box (case) itself, fuses, or relays.
- Location: Its location varies depending on which fuse box it supports. Fuse boxes in these Maserati models can be found in the engine bay, under the dashboard (e.g., driver’s side footwell), or in the trunk. This specific part number would correspond to a particular fuse box’s support in one of these areas.
- Material: Usually constructed from durable, high-strength automotive-grade plastic (e.g., ABS, polypropylene) or sometimes corrosion-resistant stamped steel, chosen for its rigidity, resilience to temperature fluctuations, and ability to withstand moderate impacts.
- Design: Precisely molded or shaped to perfectly fit the contours of the specific fuse box it supports, ensuring a snug and secure fit. Its design also accounts for the surrounding vehicle structure and electrical harness routing.
The Fuse Box Mounting Bracket / Fuse Case Support, identified by Maserati Part Number 259817, is a fundamental, albeit often unseen, structural component in your Maserati GranCabrio or GranTurismo. While it doesn’t directly conduct electricity, its role in securely holding and protecting one of your vehicle’s vital fuse boxes is absolutely critical for the reliability and safety of your entire electrical system.
This bracket serves as the stable anchor for the fuse box. Its primary function is to securely mount the fuse box within its designated location, whether that’s in the engine bay, under the dashboard, or in the trunk. This secure mounting prevents the fuse box from rattling, shifting, or suffering physical damage due to the constant vibrations and movements inherent in driving. By keeping the fuse box firmly in place, it ensures that all its internal electrical connections remain stable and that the numerous fuses and relays are not subjected to undue stress that could lead to intermittent electrical issues or component failure. Furthermore, the design of the support often contributes to the protection of the fuse box itself, shielding it from physical impacts, accidental disconnections, or environmental factors like moisture and dust, depending on its specific placement within the vehicle. It also guarantees that the fuse box is correctly positioned, allowing for easy access when routine maintenance, such as checking or replacing a blown fuse, is required.
Given its structural nature and the environment it operates in, the fuse box mounting bracket can be susceptible to various forms of damage:
- Physical Damage/Impact: Accidental impacts, such as minor collisions, dropping the fuse box during service, or mishandling during other repairs, can cause the plastic or metal bracket to crack, break, or deform.
- Plastic Degradation: Over extended periods, especially if exposed to engine heat (for engine bay mounted units) or harsh chemicals, plastic brackets can become brittle, leading to cracks or breakage.
- Corrosion: If made of metal or if metal fasteners are involved, prolonged exposure to moisture or road salt can lead to corrosion, weakening the bracket’s structural integrity.
- Vibration Fatigue: While designed to withstand vibrations, extreme or prolonged vibration, especially if fasteners loosen, can eventually cause stress cracks.
Symptoms of a damaged fuse box mounting bracket might include the fuse box being loose or rattling within its compartment, visible cracks or breaks in the plastic or metal support, difficulty in securing the fuse box cover, or, in severe cases, electrical issues that are traced back to a loose fuse box causing intermittent connections. While replacing this component does not involve complex electrical work, it does require careful removal and reinstallation of the fuse box and potentially surrounding trim or components. Ensuring the new bracket is correctly fitted and all mounting points are secure is crucial to maintain the integrity of the electrical system.
For your Maserati GranCabrio or GranTurismo, ensuring the integrity and optimal support provided by the Fuse Box Mounting Bracket (Part Number 259817) is paramount for the secure housing, protection, and reliable operation of your vehicle’s critical electrical distribution center. Replacing a damaged support with a genuine Maserati part helps maintain the longevity and uncompromising quality of your Italian luxury sports car.
