Fuse confusion

[pi quattro]

I have what I understand is the old style fuse box. It has the old cylindrical style of fuse, not the modern blade type.

Can anyone tell me what the fuse holder 5th from the right is for? Cant see in wiki and Haynes not helping?

Thanks in advance

Try Chapter 10 Page 202 of the Haynes (if you've got the green one). It lists what each of the 12 fuses are for. Fuse 8 is interior lights, brake lights and cigarette lighter.

Thanks, I have the blue manual, what's the green one?? Chapter 10 is the braking system in my book. I did look at my book again and assuming that fuse 12 is the rightmost fuse the fifth from right is as you say interior lights, brake lights and cig lighter. Thanks

Just need to figure out why when I join two wires that look like they should be joined, this fuse goes? All this when just trying to fix the horn!?

The green manual is for air-cooled campers 1979-1982.

Where are these wires? What are you seeing on them with a multimeter? Sounds like one's a live, but the other's earthed...

It is an aftermarket horn fitted by the previous owner. There is a switch in the dash for it too?? It was working then got faint and eventually stopped.

I was just checking wires and seen one wire connected to the bolt that holds in the fuse bracket with some black tape on the other end. Very near by was another wire same colour with a bit of black tape on the end of it. I made an incorrect assumption I think!
