Fuse Box-Medical Grade Plastics-Machinery Problem

This is probably down to user error or late night gaming (or BOTH) but just to be certain, after the upgrade process & starting the quest for the Oil Well===>Refinery===>Medical Grade Plastics Advanced plot, There is a Fuse Box which I am thinking requires my interaction in order to progress. I spent about 15mins in the wee hours of the morning switching fuses around in varying numerical patterns in an attempt to get them all to stay in place without sparking/shorting out... NO JOY...My ask is this:

Am I supposed to do that to get the lab up and running or was I simply obsessing over something unnecessarily? I've been known to do that from time to time...:pardon
 
You have to get the fuses in right to power up. There should be a quest that pops up that tells you to put the fuses in adding up to a certain number in each section of the fuse box.
 
Whats the number? I received the medical assistant quest but no info on a number

Are you talking about the Questlog text found under the "summary" tab in the pip boy when viewing quests? Aside from that, which doesn't say anything about using a specific number nor any other tips, there are no references to a journal that I recall ever in Fallout 4, save the journal notes of others acquired along the questlines. It's possible that I may have overlooked something though.
@jsalemi Where is the journal in which the text can be found?
If someone else knows please share. I'm completely stumped here regarding both the journal, as well as the magical number I need to achieve in the panel rows.:scratchhead

Yea, I mean the quest text -- sorry, it's called "journal" in a lot of games, and that's why I called it that. Could have swore it said the number you needed in every section, because I remember looking it up there when the quest flummoxed me.

Anyway, you need to make each of the three sections add up to
100
.
 
Thanks @jsalemi. :drinks
Duhhhhhhhhhh... LMAO.:whistle3
HOW'D I KNOW it was gonna be that. I said to my self what is the purpose of this ONE random *** fuse????
Must be a hint... **Scooby Doo voice**

Maybe it's me, but I can't seem to get this FIRST recipe right...
Boiled= Steam Plate
Crushed= Mortar & Pestle
Powdered= Bunsen burner THEN Mortar and Pestle correct?
 
Where are you getting the recipes to start off with? I got the fuse thing sorted, and get the 'Create a mixed sample' stage of the quest, but no info on what sort of things to start off with as ingredients. There's a book on a small shelf underneath the mixing machine, but I can't interact with it. Have gone high and low through the whole plot looking for any further clues without success, it's driving me a bit batty.

@apethae The ones I which I do have, I have found. When you're questing around you will find them laying around on tables in boxes etc.? Since I haven't found them all I can't say for certain where they are or if they all are meant to be found or if some are placed in your inventory by completing specific quest guidelines. There is, however, a couple of REALLY nice spreadsheets online which have lots of info pertaining to Tech Trees and other various info. Google them but be warned
**BEWARE SPOILERS**

Huh, that's strange... I have a whole stack of recipes for beer that I've run into (but I don't have a brewery) but have never seen a recipe for anything you'd make at the medical plastics place. Must not be looking out for the right thing, I guess. Thanks for the info!
 
Hello, is this quest bugged? I've added the fuses so the sections each total 100 but nothing happens. Quest does not progress. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
