My .02 is that it would be a huge hassle to replace the fuse panel, and that you would be better off to re-wire with an in-line fuse. But you need to find out why it fried the panel in the first place.

BTW, my wiring diagram (Haynes) for the 82 240 shows the blower powered by fuse 10. Fuse 8 powers the rear window defroster.

You will be better off posting your shut-off problem on the diesel forum.

Good luck.
