I’m trying to replace fuses in the 914 which I’ve never done before. Can you please tell me if this diagram is correct? (I got it from a thread on 914 World.) It shows that all fuses are 8 amp except for the wiper motor which is 16 amp-it says the two fuses that are to the far right are an 8 and a 16 for unused circuits.
The picture of mine shows it has a 16 amp in the first slot to the left which is a tail lamp and luggage lamp-if the diagram is correct this should be an eight amp. |

Sorry - I am asking about the 1974.
So the 1st picture I found on 914World is invalid? I found this thread which has a link to Jeff Bowlsby's 1974 fuse index: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2756960 https://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/zTN_Elect_FuseIndex.jpg Jeff's index above lists 16A fuses for slots 8,10 and 12 (8A for the rest) - can anyone confirm? My 1974 has no fog lamps (slot 10 according to Jeff) - should I use a 16A anyway, or just an 8A? |

Do you have the owners manual? It’s listed there. If not, ask someone with a 74 manual.

Don't have one - great idea - does anyone have a 1974 manual (pics of the fuses)?

The one you found from Jeff's site for the 74 is right for a 74.

Thank you, Sirs.
I shall adhere to Master Bowlsby’s direction. I’ll use a 16A for slot 10 even though this ‘74 has no fog lamps. |

You will need fuse 10 for your horn, just be sure to check your fog circuits to prevent a short to ground.

owners manual or appendix of the book 914 "tech tips 700" the 70-73 used 8 and 25 the 74-76 8 and 16 amp fuses. Please make sure you put a fuse cover over the fuses when you are done, too easy to knock them out when getting in and out of the car

Thank you all.
I just replaced them all as instructed and then replaced a relay on the driver side headlight and now everything appears to work. . . I just need to figure out how to get the thing running which is a whole different thread. Of course I bought a fuse box cover a while back here on 914 World and I can’t find it. If anyone has one available regardless of condition please PM me. Otherwise I’ll do a WTB thread. Current condition: |

@MM1
not sure if you are mixing it up there just from the way you have written that but i think you have it correct if i am reading you right. for clarity. 74s have the 16 amp fuses (see my post above of page from owners manual for a 74 1.8, as you asked for. that is from my car and correct manual). for a 73. posted here is the fusebox page from the 73 owners manual that i have on file. its a 25 amp fuse being used. advice by dr. 914 above correct. 73 owners manual. |

Yes Sir - that’s what I meant.
Your 1973 manual pic seals it-thank you, Sir. If you ever make it to SoCal lunch or dinner is on me! |
