will a 2016 Engine Wiring Harness Junction Block or fuse box fit on a 2018 camaro?

I had problems with the tcm, it kept losing connection with the module in the end it ended up being the fuse box, I went to a junk yard and found a camaro, my question is if the fuse box of a camaro but from a different year can fit it To mine (2018) the Camaro that is in the junk yard is a 2.0 and mine is a 3.6 but the fuse boxes look the same, sorry english its not my 1st language .

the 1st picture its the fuse box that is in the other camaro
2nd picture is from my camaro

The simplest way to know for certain is find part numbers from both cars and see if they cross with each other. You can try some of the online parts sellers, a dealership, or possibly a private mechanic.

I would not recommend it. Just because the electrical wires and physical housing look similar it does not mean the canbus/data lines are routed correct. Your ECM will more than likely throw codes at you.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with your TCM and fuse box. Regarding your question, while the fuse boxes may appear similar between the two Camaro models, it's important to note that using a fuse box from a different year and engine size might not be compatible with your specific vehicle.

Fuse boxes are designed to work with the electrical system and components of a particular vehicle model and year. Differences in wiring, connectors, and electrical configurations can vary between different models and engine sizes, even within the same make and model.

To ensure compatibility and avoid potential electrical issues, it is recommended to use a fuse box specifically designed for your 2018 Camaro 3.6 model. It's best to consult with a qualified mechanic or contact the manufacturer or you can check this site about physics and not only,a lot of essays https://essays.edubirdie.com/physics-help about everything even chevrolets, to obtain the correct fuse box for your vehicle. They will be able to provide you with the precise part number and confirm compatibility based on your vehicle's specifications.

Remember, it's crucial to use the correct parts for your vehicle to maintain its functionality and safety.

Get the exact part number off the bottom of your fuse box.
See if you can find a used one from ebay or another internet seller of "recycled" parts. Nice if the seller offers returns, otherwise may be worth the risk, as price for a used one is likely 1/3 of new.

There was a post earlier this year from lynyrd where he tried to use a rear fuse box which was close, but not identical. it did not work.

There is definitely some differences. The wrecker car has more pinouts (red) and fuses (green). Will it work? Probably. I'd get a new one if I could but if this was my only option I would try it.

The green block is a row of spare fuses, so that doesn't matter. There is a missing fuse in your red circle, but the pinouts of these boxes are the same, see the 2016 (left) vs the 2018 (right) owner's manual. F65 is not a difference but a typo in the 2016 manual.
