Dumb fuse question

[macneill]

My defroster / heater fan went out, so I decided to check the fuse.

Where the hell is it?

The back of the fuse box cover shows it to the right of the others.

that does not look like a stock fuse box

maybe look behind the dash further

Really? That's odd then. Hmmmm...

I believe you have a later 80's ATO fuse cover on an early 80's glass fuse 60.
And I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

From my 1981 mouse motel parts truck -

From my 1987 -

Wow! Thanks a lot. That makes sense now!

I think the fuse box changed sometime in 1983. You most likely need to reset your circut breaker. It is located under the dash to the left of the steering column (Fuse Box side). It is round and about the diameter of a quarter with a small hole in it. push a paper clip into the hole and you should be good to go.

This is from the FSM for the early 60 series. The picture is pretty bad, but the circuit breaker must be near the hood release, probably somewhere below the fuse box.

anyone else have a tube fuse box, is it just a 81' thing?

 

[Dynosoar]

I have glass fuses on my '82 as well.

My 82 is also glass fused.

Does anyone know what the Power fuse is for? I have a '83 FJ60 and the Power fuse is missing and the slot is empty so I can't replace it either.
