3B BJ42 What are these Fuses? (13 Viewers)

[kzj70]

Could anyone tell me what circuits these fuses are on and what Amp please?

I can’t find any other fuses and am trying to trace why my glow plugs are not getting power. These are on the main loom from the battery positive.

Thank you.

Your ammeter in reality is a...

Have checked the fusible links already and all OK so will continue the search.
