Rewiring Fuse Box - Have questions
I have had intermittent electrical problems with turn signals and head lights not working. Tried swapping fuses and relays and nothing worked. This car has had at least three owners that I know of, so the wiring is a mess. The PO had two extra fuse boxes he gave me with the car and said he had planned on replacing them and now I know why and I think I found the source of a lot of my problems. https://imgur.com/ThhaOw3
When testing those ground connections, there isn't even continuity across the individual pins due to the amount of oxidation.
So I ripped out the old fuse box and am putting new connectors on everything as they are almost all corroded. The new one looks so much better! https://imgur.com/JShH50l
My question is that on the hot wires, I only had connections on pins 1,2,4 and 5. And as you can see, plugs 2 and 5 have two 12ga wires on the same connector (and these actually look orginal). Is there any reason I can't split these out to other single connections on plugs 3 and 6 since they aren't used on my fuse box. https://imgur.com/S8C8fxr

In the first photo you are showing two male spade connectors next to each other in section "g" which is the #15 bus line (switched power). So connecting battery power to those connector would a no. However section "h" which is for the #30 bus line (unswitch power) any unused connector would be ok to split the load into. A bit of dielectric grease wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks, I mistook the g and h sections for ground and hot. So yes I am wanting to split two wires to single connections in the h section. Which since it is unswitched as you say confirms my suspicion that it would work, thanks!
My only concern was that it actually looked original so I was confused why Porsche would double up a wire like that
