Does anyone know of a popular place to try to get the short 25 amp Euro-style fuses? I have tried a few electrical/parts places here in Regina, but have been unable to locate any. I usually get the wide eyes "wtf is that" look.
The reason why...I was rolling down the road in my 131 and decided to try the wipers for the first time. Very shortly after, the wipers quit in mid swipe, the AMP light came on, I lost reading on my fuel and temp gauges, but the car kept running. I made extra sure to ease the car home (not a far distance luckily), and discovered the 25 amp short fuse was blown.
I think I have a fault in the wiper wiring somewhere. I haven't had time to look into it too deeply (house renos take precedence atm), but I do know I need some new fuses. I found the long 8 and 16 amper's at Canadian Tire. I know Olof sells the shortys, but I would hate to place a cross-Canada order for such a small part.
As well, does anyone know the correct top-to-bottom installation sequence for the fuses? Is it 25-8-8-8? I had a mix of 25, 8 and 16 in the same fuse box. I feel I am starting to right the wrongs on this car...
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!
