 |
|
Hello,
I'm in the process of installing a complete new wiring harness in my 1970 Transporter. I quickly realized that the fuse box was from a different model/year, and that I could not get a 1970 one. Apparently, these were terribly made and almost all of them fell apart. So, I modified the one I had to match a picture of the 1970 box one by rearranging/bridging the terminals as necessary.
Now, I can't seem to find a diagram of what size fuse should go in each of the 12 slots. Anyone have this info?
Thanks,
Larry |

Fuse colors are shown on the wiring diagram, mostly white 8A with a couple red 16A ones.
 Note the box is depicted mirror image on that version, grey wires should be on the left when viewed as installed in the bus

| Thanks! So it only uses 8's and a couple of 16's? When I got the bus, there were a whole rainbow of fuses in it. There were blues, pinks, etc... |

Yeah, some PO bought an assortment for watercooled cars and started adding bigger and bigger ones as the problems progressed, sounds like you are fixing it properly so white and a couple reds is all you need.
