Early fuse box layout

Evening all, Don't suppose anyone's got an early fuse box layout diagram. I have a 1983 van with ceramic fuses & need to trace a wire to a bulb on the dash pod.

Haynes only has later layouts & can't find anything on the wiki about early layouts.

The blue wire comes from this location on the fuse box, sorry about the cr@p picture quality, was getting pretty dark.

The blue wire goes to this bulb above hazzard switch. The black wire from this bulb is disconnected and I don't know where its supposed to go,

Has it got or had a towbar fitted?
It looks like the blue wire goes into the indicator relay, which then would be a warning lamp for the trailer indicators.

That's interesting, Yes it does have a towbar fitted but I have not yet towed anything. Not sure why i would have an indicator bulb
on the dash for it though. Does seem to be a factory fitted bulb too.

It's a legal requirement to have a visual or audible signal when the trailer indicators flash.
