1968 fuse panel assignment
 

Anyone one know starting from 1 being the bottom wire in the photo, to 12 being the final wire at the top on my 1968 911L, what are the fuse values for the entire block?
I have looked too, but I find unless you word it absolutely correct, you come up with zero results.
Thanks

Brad,

Try this.

Good luck,

unfortunately doesn't cover my year

Assuming the ones in my 68 911 haven't moved around in the last few decades the values are as follows:

1 8 amp
2 15/8 amp
3 25 amp
4 25 amp
5 8 amp
6 8 amp
7 8 amp
8 8 amp
9 8 amp
10 8 amp
11 8 amp
12 8 amp

I'm a bit curious about fuse #2. I assume (again) that the 15 is peak current and the 8 is nominal current.

I got the numbers from the back side of each fuse in my fuse block. I would guess they are also in the owners manual but the PO still has the one for my car.

How about this?

This link may help, of just confuse even more.

Here is a pic of the factory fuse designation from my '68 911L

Sorry, It looks like there are no values shown for the fuses.

I have that too, unfortunately I am in the same boat...however I did notice that your 68 looks to have been built about 572 cars before mine...wow...small world eh!!!(sorry...from Canada)

From an earlier post of mine....


Here is the early (SWB) fuse block.

The early fuse block (’65-’68) is prone to corrosion failures as
others. The formed “rivet” connections are long-term subject
to corrosion. This occurs in two different places. First is the
spring fuse connection is crimped under the wire terminal and
corrosion occurs there. Second, there are three back-side
connections between fuses on the source side that can corrode
to the wire terminals. If there is any corrosion, resistance
results and the connection gets hot. Typically this damages
the phenolic base and releases the “rivet” connection. This
becomes progressive until the connection is lost – usually
ruining the entire assembly.

According to the Factory owners manual p. 66

"All fuses are 8/15 amps except
Fuse 4 (wipers, screen washers) - 25/40 amps
Fuse 3 (auxiliary heater) - 25/40 amps

On the same page the lamp values for reference:

Headlamps 45/40W
Foglamps 35W
Back-up lights 25W
Stop lights 18/5W
Blink lights 18W
Interior lights 10W
Trunk light 5W
Parking lights 4W
License plate lights 4W
Instrument light 2W
Control light 2W

Hope this helps

Has anyone notice the factory wiring diagram and the repair manual have the fuse box in backwards? 12 to the front and 1 to the rear.

Regarding the two different fuse ratings for number 2, I believe it is because the cigarette lighter was an option so it would need a bigger amp fuse. 8 without, 15 (16) with.

Yes, if you look at the photo I took at the top of the thread, the numbers on the fuse block are backwards. To get it to match the diagram, it had to be reversed!

Warren used to say that the task of doing the wiring diagram was assigned to the most junior engineers!

Updated link for post #7, good discussion and photos for fuses and the backward numbering system from owners manual and service books.
