Water and moisture to name two. Doesn't mix well.
As usual, you beat me to it. I totally agree. I've been done with the restoration on my car for years, and I have had no need to crawl under the dash for the fuse box.If you fix the wiring or rewire it RIGHT you will seldom need to access the thing.

I’m need to rewire my 68 Valiant plan on using aftermarket fuse box and wiring kit, is there any reasons not to mount the fuse box under the hood ?? Would like easier access then under the dash.
Man, those are the worst leaks to find, and they are a pain to fix.So true, but I did have to keep replacing under the dash fuses...when my windsheild leak dripped near it.
Chevy trucks did it right, fuse panel right at driver end of dash: open cab door, open fuse box door and they are there in the sunlight. All the stuff is written on backside of the door. My Plymouth breeze had it there too I believe. They (Chevy) had an alternate fuse box in the engine bay but it was sealed in a weatherproof box. Then Mopar has to get stupid and mount the battery in front of the left front wheel. Had to service it with the tire either off or cocked to the right and it as still very tight.
I was thinking about doing this:
12-Slot Fuse/Relay Box for (5) 5-Pin Relays, (1) 4-Pin Relays, and (6) ATO/ATC Blade Fuses | PSZACCEPS310H
Mainly to hide relay's. Will have 2 relays for fans (plus fuses) 2 more relays for headlights. Would like to put it inside the wheel well to keep the engine bay a little cleaner.
