I assume that's the '72?
'71 & '73 wiring diagrams here: Pelican Parts - Porsche 911 Parts Listings & Diagrams Probably no shortcuts, other than finding someone with the same car and comparing them side by side. Next best solution would be to trace the wires and compare to the diagrams. |

Check your Bentley for compatibility. You may pm me as needed. Your fuses look a bit "used". Good luck, Gerry

I think you may have a corrosion issue on top of any other issues. I see every shade of corrosion in the first picture.

86 may differ slightly from 85.....
Here are some photos of my previous 85.....needed 3 shots. Notice not completely stock since I wired-in the headlight relays. Should otherwise be stock. Only mod is lower grey wire shift to allow fog lights to be on whenever parking lights are on. Shots run front-to-back.

OK so this brings up another question.... what is the best was to clean off the contacts? or should I just replace the fuse box?

Why not replace the whole thing with modern fuse holders? I've done it it's not that tough

.. because that fuse holder is part of the lore ... another eclectic thing that makes up a classic 911..
