Fuses

[samwoodard]

I have a 1990 japanese st185 gt4 and i need to know where i can find the fuse for the interior, glove box and boot light (i imagine they are all on the same fuse). There's a fuse board under the passengers dash so i guess it's that. If anyone has any diagrams, or has a link, i would be really grateful as i dont want to use trial and error... being the only way because they are strange looking fuses with plastic covers so i cant see which is blown. Any help on this would be a great help and i hope im not being stupid. Hope you can 'shed some light' on this situation (sorry for the pun, but it had to happen!) :) many thanks!

I would invest a tenner in a multimeter. Well worth it in the long run.

There`s one on the drivers side too. Normal fuses. It may well be in there.

Thanks for the help. I'm trying to familiarise myself with this machine, I only just bought her. Do you know of the best workshop manual that relates to my new pride and joy? I need to learn more and i dont have regular internet access, so i could do with a big hardback book that i could read in the wee early hours.

I`ve got a Chilton manual. It`s ok but not the best by any means. There are links some where to the BGB (Big Green Book) which is much better. But typically i can`t seem to find them.

I think this is the link that Daktari mentioned:

Should help you out a bit - you could always print some of it off to read at bedtime!

Although i could think of much better things to do in bed as myself and the girlfriend have decided that we're going to try for a baby!!! Can't actually believe it, what do I think I'm doing??!!! No I wont be getting a 'family' car, the baby'll have to fit in the back aswell as pram etc or I'll be taking him/her back!!!!! :)

[daktari]

Yep. Thats the one.

Good luck with the baby thing..... I seem to remember it was good fun practising. ;) Then it all went downhill from there.

:D :D :D Thanks dak, that's what I'm worried about!!! Such a huge change to your life, am I ready??? We've been together 11 years so it's not something we are rushing. Will we still be able to go to the pub every saturday lunchtime and still be in there in the evening??!! The baby will be ok wont it, a bag of scratchings and some peanuts will keep them going until mum can get the real stuff out!!!! ;) :D
