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

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. ![]() |
