Fuse no 7 on 12 fuse panel

Post by TONYT25T25 »

Fuse no 7 had blown on fuse panel behind glove box. Thought this was cig lighter as that was not working, on replacing no7 fuse it did work. But according to my Haynes no7 is for the radfan only. I have disconnected the Red pos cable from back of ciglighter as suspect it is shorting. Can't think that disconnecting this wire can affect anything else so just checking with Forum.

Here is my thread about the early Torpedo-Fuse Fusebox.

Note that there are links between fuses 7, 8, 9, and 10, so it is not unheard of for some items to be connected to an adjacent fuse.

These are the listings in the official VW wiring diagrams.
1983 Tin Top with a poorly DF and 4 speed DT box.
1987 Electrics and a DJ engine.
Maybe one day I might get it finished

Thanks Robsey, the links between the fuses explains a lot. I replaced no7 fuse after disconnecting the ciglighter in case it did serve other areas.👍
