Engine 3 fuse block, little help please!

1) My fuse box broke (center fuse), how do these wires hook up?
2) I don't have a blower motor, rear defogger etc. What is the minimum of wiring I need back here? I'm planning on putting in a different fuse box.
3) Is there a separate wire that lets the CDI box work? Or is CDI wiring self contained?

...er, by broke I mean, I broke it. And I had it labelled but I only labelled 'right side of box' and 'left side of box'.

Totally useless labelling by me

If you don't have a heater blower motor or a rear window defroster then I don't think you need any of that. However, there should be one wire that is hot when the ignition is on so that one would need to be capped off. All the CDI wiring should come out of the 14 pin master plug on the left rear.

Excellent! I have other random wires (related to blower/things I don't have) but I will trace and remove them after the car runs

You normally have a constant 12 vdc and a switched 12 vdc on the left side coming through the grommet. Both need to be capped off if not used.

Someone has already messed with my car. Both of the 'left' fuse box wires were going into one fuse. Middle one unhooked/broken as soon as I touched it. And the other wires on top and bottom fuse.

Will use the left side to power my megasquirt operation

One thought......CLASSIC RETROFIT FUSE BLOCK REPLACEMENT! I almost had a fire on my rear fuse block. Replaced both is CR Fuse Blocks and could not be happier.
