Cooling, or lack of it has been, and still is the "achiles heal" for edge box,s. The obvious solution is to create cool air and direct it at the box. My solution to the problem is to install a shop.vac 1 1/4" , 8' long hose assembly part #905-82. Attach the inlet end of the hose (the end that goes into the vaccume)to the drivers side tow hook, aiming it directly into the wind stream. Run the flex hose up beside the blue intercooler hose, inside the engine compartment , then up between the the d.s. Bat. And black upper rad hose , continue between the brake booster and large black fuse box.with the juice box mounted up against the fire wall, on the black plastic inner wheel well cover, the hose will just reach up to :cool2: t he electric lead end of the mounted juice box. While driving, a steady stream of cool air will wash over the box, with the resulting longevity, which otherwise is not happening. No pics, but simple fix. Good luck. :cool2:

Good idea! Moisture (rain) doesn't hurt?
