Fuse box location 90 Australia NA

Postby Forgiven » Sun Sep 30, 2018 9:32 pm

OK, I give up. Found the one in the engine bay, but there's another somewhere. Manuals give various locations, including the boot, but for the life of me I can't find it.

From memory it's under the dash on the drivers side.

yep - NA6 it's tucked up under the drivers side of the dash near your right knee. If it's original it may still have the black plastic cover over it. Absolute mongrel of a place to put it...

Got him! Thanks. Yep on the side, high up. In mine though, there's no match for the photo, so I can be forgiven for not being able to find it. It is barely visible through a heap of wires - I guess they are meant to be tucked up. Better disconnect the black on the battery before I put my big head under there tomorrow.

Well that didn't go well. Disconnecting the negative on the battery - gave up. Pulling the fuse without the fuse puller (the lid was long gone) - gave up. Then when reinstalling the seat, one of the front holes lost its attached thread, so nothing to screw into. Hope there's a simple solution to that.
Think I'll 'stick to the knitting.'

If it helps, I dont believe the internal fuse box actually has a lid.

I dont recall ever seeing one on an NA (NB is mounted differently)

Yes, it had a lid with a mounted fuse puller.
Tis' a horrible location. I leave the seat in and contort myself in there (not easy getting back out).

Yep. Same deal with replacing the pop up headlight relay - like giving yourself a spear tackle.
