2005-2006 SSR Power Loss, Engine Dies When Hot but restarts when cool (Fuse box)

A very common issue for 2005-2006 SSRs is that they just shut down driving down the road after an hour or so. Everything dies or you could just get a few trouble codes and running rough. Let things cool down, and everything seems normal again, until the engine warms up again. This is due to a cracked copper wire in the fuse box wiring.

Replacing the wire is the best solution so there is no chance of future arcing or other issues. An alternative is to solder the area prone to cracking.

Getting the fuse box off the truck –

  • Remove all power to the truck and then remove the top cover and inner fuse box cover.
  • Take off the connectors and cables that go to the front of the box.
  • Unsnap the clips along the side of the fuse box that hold the connectors.
  • Loosen the 4 bolts in the middle of the fuse box area where the fuses are located. Once loosened, lift the fuse box up and out.
