LR90 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Help! OK, the fuse label on my 90 (stuck on the inside of the fuse cover below the bulkhead) is all out of sync with the fuses. For a start it only shows 8 or so when I seem to have nearer to 20. All well and good until something stops working and then tracking down which fuse becomes so much more difficult and I'm not even sure if what's in there is of the correct rating. I've tracked down some part numbers: PRC3389 Up to 270139PRC5670 From 270139 To FA423988 PRC8245 From FA423989 To HA906454 PRC9902 From HA906455 AMR3771 300TDi So there are clearly several variants. To help me track down which one is correct for my loom could you post up pics of your fuse labels and indicate which of the above you think it is.

LR90 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 That was a fast response, thanks Luke You could be on the money with that one. I recognise a couple of the fuse positions from hard won experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Do you have glass or blade fuses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Blades (lots of 'em) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Will post a piccy of my blade one later, if you've not got it sorted by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieB Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 printed labels? you lucky, lucky, lucky.. Mine's got an indecipherable handwritten sticky label, bearing a code that was doubtless clear to its author, although bears no resemblance to amperes, LR wire colour codes, nada. The alternative is possibly to check the colours of the wires at the back of the fuses, compared to the wiring schematic [brownie points for Haynes]; it looks as though I'll be heading that way when I eventually solve my no-main-beams [inoperative relay removed then one night sthg frazzled], kenlowe overloading a fuse that is currently bridged, temporary/indefinite bit-of-a-jumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Strikes me if I can work out which label I should have its well worth getting a label form the dealer or a s/h cover from the right year form Sodbury or wherever. LandyManLuke's JA920*** looks like a good candidate so far. The fuses I have tracked down seem to correlate nicely. Be interrested to see one from an earlier model, late FA, GA******, or early HA though if only to confirm that is not a match. Seems pre FA didn't use blade fuses so that rules them out.

western Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 This mine [all glass fuses] my 110 has a FA VIN 1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is from mine.... Mines a very early 200tdi (still has some TD parts) and has an HA vin number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardatherton Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 To help me track down which one is correct for my loom could you post up pics of your fuse labels and indicate which of the above you think it is.TIA Labels? It doesn't have a fuse label... What's the point of labelling it, when there's only one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks Mark, some subtle changes from the later one. I'll print both out and start chasing wires, though I don't have many of the extras on the bottom row anyway, to see which matches. Did manage to go straight to the wipers fuse last night, which saved a lot of faffing about, and they're back in action again so I'm pretty chuffed with the results already Edward, as long as you know were to find it that's an excellent idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn668 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 My old Series 3 had four glass fuses under the steering column, but only one of them seemed to be doing anything. I could happily take out the other three and everything still seemed to work. Might have been required by a trainee squaddie electrician I guess. (Was ex-Navy).
