Fuse Panel part
 

for an 85. 30 amp a/c fan fuse burned :( out and took the 5 fuse fuse block with it. Anybody parting out an 85 or so that would sell me one. While I'm at it, a question ... Does the fuse block come to the rear of the car (front of the fuse panel), or the front of the car (rear of the fuse panel)?SmileWavy

Seller has low and poor feedback, but has a pile of wiring and what looks like a fuse panel on ebay for $50. Location in FL and bid may go up, but an offer for the part you need via "ask a question" might do the trick.

Thanks, but found one. It is on the way.

Don't know if you got it out already - but it comes out to the front of the panel - the side the fuses are on. There is a single locking tab in the middle of both the long sides. if you have a thin putty knife slide it between the frame & the fuse block - if you just push back in the middle you will locate the tab - Since yours is junk - just push back (or side to side) on it and you will likely break these tabs off - then the fuse block should just slide out the front. Taking them out without breaking the tabs is quite possible but there is a technique to it - a hook & pull behind the back of the tab. Making a special tool helps. It is also possible to release them using the slots from the rear - but without a different special tool -its difficult to do and more likely to cause tab breakage.

Replacement is simple - push click.

However - make sure the blocks you are replacing both have functiona tabs & are the correct configuration. Except for numbering & color the molded block parts are the same - however the teminal configuration is not. The input terminals (top) in some blocks are ganged together in various configurations. This is accomplished vis use of multiple linked terminals. On rennlist when I said they are interchangeable - I meant they would be interchangeable if I sent you them - because I'd configure the block for what you need (I have a bunch of spare fuse blade terminals of all the types...

So make sure you have the right ones on the way. I'm not sure that they are even the same by block number across all model years... I believe its 'likely' 85-89 are all the same and that 90-95 are all the same but between these there are likely differences in terminal configs due to major changes in fuse assignments in 90.

To validate what you have - take the fuse block face plates off - 4 tabs in the side - push in gently - just enough to release (except you probbaly don't care if you break them now...)

See the terminal top configuration or test with a DMM/ohm-meter

If you are looking for a part, I have an 86 wiring system to be parted out, as it is largely not intact. I also have an 86.5 wiring system that is largely intact, both include relay/fuse panels.

Stan - I am looking for a fuse panel, or at least the block that contains the fog light fuse, as mine burned out there. Do you have one and if so, what would you part with it for?

I had an offer for one panel but now find it is a bit battered. I should have expected this, as the car took a hard passenger side hit. I have another complete panel and most of an 86.5 wiring harness but I want to sell it complete.

I had one offer on one or both panels before I recognized the damage, so am seeing what that person would like to do, and then I can let you know what I might have to offer. I will let you know soon.

I have the damaged panel and partial wiring harness available for anyone looking for parts. I also have a complete panel with harness available. Both are from 86s

P.S. Alan I PM'd you first.

Stan - Still interested - I emailed you back several days ago... (Monday I think) check
