General Information

GENERAL
The car's +12 V power supply is distributed to the various consumers via four fuse boxes, one behind the glove box, one in the engine bay by the LH headlamp, one for the secondary air injection pump in the engine bay and one for the ABS brakes in the engine bay on the bulkhead partition. Most of the fuses and relays are located in the fuse boxes.

The fuses are of blade type and, in combination with the connectors used, cause a lower voltage drop than the earlier type. They are also more resistant to corrosion.

Colour coding of blade fuses:
Fuse Colour
5A Light brown
7.5A Dark brown
10A Red
15A Blue
20A Yellow
25A Transparent
30A Green

Blade Fuses:

Checking blade fuses
Every blade fuse has test apertures which enable it to be checked without necessitating its removal from the fuse box. If both sockets are live, the fuse is in tact.

On fuses that are not in use it is easy to see whether or not the fuse wire is intact.
