would anyone have a list of fuse values for 85 carrera?
 

....just wondering if someone might have this handy. I have an 85 Carrera and wanted to replace all those plastic bullet fuses with the glass bullet type and thought I'd swing by the parts store after work....but I'm not sure what values/quantities I need

Mark.

This following was cut and pasted, taken from a previous post that I found upon a quick search of the forum...

For reference:

Blue= 25A
red= 16A
white= 8A
yellow= 5A

BTW...if we use the factory arrangement for 79 model year....the Tech/Spec Porsche books says it follows exactly my fuse convention I show for the 85 in my first attachment. Reading front-of-car....to back....and saying front-most is #1--->

1-foglites 16A
2-license plate lites 5A
3- fr/rr parking lites right ... 5A
4- fr/rr parking lites, left...5A
5- low beam ,rt...8A
6-low beam, left...8A
7- hi beam, rt...8A
8- hi beam , left..8A
9- fr turn signal, rt...5A
10-fr turn signal left...5A
11-l/r stop lights, flasher relay, backups...16A
12- rear defog relay,blower, rear defog indicator lamp.. 25A
13-windhield wiper/ washer ...25A
14- sunroof, rear wiper...16A
15-Aux heater, cig lighter, blower switch indicator lamp...16A
16-power windows..25A
17-emergency flasher...16A
18- interior lite, clock, glove box lite, trunk lite...5A
19- headlight cleaners, etc...25A ( 16A in 76, 16A in 78, 25A in 83, 25A in 85).. ????
20- A/C, A/C blowers, P/S...... 25A
21- P/W, sunroof, seat htr, 25A ( 16A for 76, "fuel pump" ?...???)

bigel,

Thanks a bunch! This is a huge help.

Mark.

what are the glass fuses you are referring to? do they fit in the same holder?

Yah, if they still can be found. I did this on my older BMW's years ago and figured they were more reliable. It used to be when something didn't work on the BMW, first thing to do was "spin" all the fuses to make better contact.

For reference, to answer the value part of your question;

Blue= $0.89
red= $0.89
white= $0.89
yellow= $0.89

Although I'm sure they're much cheaper in bulk. But value is relative, at 3am on a lonely highway if you're stranded due to a blown fuse, I'm sure you'd value them at 20 or 30 buck even.

:D
