Default Interior fuse panel question

Hey guys new to The forum. My name is Derrick and I have a 1995 f150 with the 5.0.
My my question is the previous owner apparently thought it was a good idea to use a paperclip as a fuse in the fuse box and now the fuse box is burnt and somewhat melted. Is there a way to swap it or do I need to track all of the wiring and replace the harness? Hoping it's a easy fix. Thanks for the add!!!

Replacement wiring harnesses have never been available. Cheap (hundreds or thousands of dollars) aftermarket generic labor-intensive unreliable harness are - but not a true direct-replacement.

The easiest fix is to pull the damaged terminals out of the fuse block, and splice on a new fuse holder (with wires that are sized to handle the original fuse) that will tuck into the dash near the original block.

The best fix is to completely depin the damaged plastic block, collect a replacement block & some replacement (UNdamaged) terminals from the JY, splice on the terminals, and then reinstall everything into the block & dash. Click this & read the captions:
