Hi all, been off here for a long time. Good to be back.
My son just bought a 77 tr7, and I'm hoping someone can post a good picture of the fuse panel diagram from inside the glove box. It is the 12 fuse type, and I have seen different types on the web.
thanks tom

Thanks, I've seen that one. And a couple of others. Just trying to figure why I have 50 amp and 10 amp fuses in mine.

Tom - are you saying the chart in your TR7 shows it should have 50 and 10 amp fuses?

or are you saying that you have 50 and 10 amp fuses, and your chart shows different.

There's always the possibility that the previous owner didn't have what the chart shows, so put it different amp fuses.

Thanks.
Tom M.

The black plastic door cover that go's over the fuse's is missing the fuse sticker in this car.
And yes, I am saying I have 50 and 10 amp fuses in the fuse block. And yes, with a 43 year old car, I'm guessing one of the previous owners put in whatever was available, heck theres even a couple of American fuses in there. I have 10 of each on order already and I'll go from there.

OK, thanks. If you don't know how the car's electric may have been modified, seems you're right to ditch the current fuses and put in what's specified in the owner's manual.

Previous owners sometimes get unusually "creative" when working on wiring and troubleshooting electrical issues. Ask me how I know ...

Hang in there.
Tom M.
PS - check out this page, which shows differences in British vs. American fuse ratings.
