Repairing/Replacing the Engine Compartment Fuse Box
#1

Looking for some help on repairing or replacing the engine compartment fuse box in an '04 HSE.
There's lots of threads on the under dash fuse box, but nothing I can find on the engine compartment fuse box.
My fuse box got damaged as the result of a condenser motor failure detailed in this thread for anyone interested:
https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...g-help-107431/
As best as I have been able to diagnose/figure, the wiring in the fuse box from the condenser fan 100A fuse to PIn5 of the condenser relay socket is fried, ie., it's an open circuit, no more continuity.
As I see it, I have two choices:
1. Repair the fuse box; or
2. Replace it.
So Question 1: Is the fuse box repairable, ie., if I remove it (help/steps/process on how to do so would be most appreciated), will I have access to the wire/circuit path that I have determined to have fried/failed?
If the answer to Question 1 is "NO" (maybe the backplane of the fuse box is sealed or otherwise inaccessible), then re. Question 2, can someone tell me whether the fuse box from '99-'04 is the same/interchangeable? I have an '04 HSE 4.7 engine, and if the boxes are the same over the D2 model run, then that greatly improves my chances of finding one in a junkyard.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I remember replacing the engine compartment fuse box on my '99. I was new to the truck and didn't even know about this forum yet. All I did was get a replacement off eBay and switch out all of the connections, starting with the battery. There didn't seem to be anything particularly nuanced about it, although there was a difference in how some of the main fusible links were attached.

BTW, based on this eBay listing, it looks like the '99-'02 engine compartment fuse box is different from the '03-'04 version.
