If you’re the proud owner of a Holden VL Commodore, you already know how special these classics are. But as these vehicles age, certain components begin to show their weaknesses — and one of the most common (and overlooked) issues we’re seeing more frequently is a melted fuse box rail.
Recently, another VL rolled into our workshop with the exact same problem. While it might seem minor at first glance, a damaged or melted fuse box rail can quickly snowball into major electrical faults, unreliable performance, and even pose safety risks if ignored.
⚠️ Why Does the Fuse Box Rail Melt?
Over time, heat buildup, ageing wiring, and increased electrical load can cause the rail to melt or deform. Many VLs still run their factory fuse boxes, which were never designed to handle modern electrical accessories or decades of wear.
A failing fuse box rail can lead to:
- Intermittent electrical issues
- Blown fuses
- Poor connections
- Risk of short circuits
- Potential fire hazards
This is one of those problems that gets worse the longer it’s left unchecked.
