You are not quite sure if everything is ok with the electrical system of your Ferrari 308?
Or are you even sure that something doesn't fit?
If it manifests itself as in the video, it is usually due to the headlight lift motors themselves with their limit switches, the light stalk assembly
or on the relays.
Most problems, however, come from poor plug connections with excessive contact resistances, or loose contacts on the fuse boxes.
With the fuse boxes for Ferrari 308 and 512 corrosion develops over the years at the contact rivets.
Heat, the plastic becomes soft and the contacts loose, which sooner or later leads at least to a loose contact.
This then looks like this:
When the time comes, the only option is to replace the entire fuse box.
Original fuse boxes have become rare and expensive, and anyway, you have to ask yourself if you want to re-install the same failure source.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
With these aftermarket fuse boxes, the individual holders of the fuses and the connectors are made of one piece without rivets. The parts are reliable and have been tried and tested for decades.
More information can be found in the installation instructions.
Installation instructions for:
- Ferrari 308 GT4
- Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS (carburetor)
- Ferrari 308 GTBi/GTSi, QV (injection)
- Ferrari 512BB
- Ferrari 512BBi
This conversion will avoid problems with the lights, power windows, horn, fuel pump and burning vehicles.
If you still have the typical slow Ferrari windows and a cause of a mechanical nature, as well as with the window motor has been ruled out, it is probably due to a bad ground connection through the door.
Also for this there is a permanent and simple solution, namely these accelerators:
The parts do not work on all circuits but have been successfully tested on these cars:
Ferrari Dino 246
Ferrari 308 GT4
Ferrari 308 GTSi
Ferrari 308 QV
Ferrari 328
Ferrari 348 TB/TS
Ferrari 400
Ferrari Mondial Convertible
Unfortunately, it's not easy to tell from the factory documentation which cars the system works on and which don't, but you can find an easy way to test it here.
