Fuse box location on coupe

Post by bertjones »

I seem to have blown a fuse since the parking lights / turn indicators not longer come on. The manual says that on the coupe the fuze box is located behind the glove box and above the passengers right foot. Well, since this car has no glove box because that's where Borletti chose to mount the air conditioning unit, I am stumped! Getting under the dash is not easy but I've done it 3 time to no avail---nothing that remotely looks like a row of fuses. Anyone have any ideas???

It's not behind the glove box, but above. Maybe it's still above the AC.

For the 2.0 Coupe it is for sure behind the wood above the glove box

Thanks for your inputs. Guys, I've been under that dash so many times today I'm beginning to look like a noodle. BUT I can neither see nor feel anything above the air conditioner unit. On the extreme right hand side (next to the door post) are a few relays and the round flasher can for the turn indicators. But I found nothing that remotely resembles a row of ceramic Bosch fuses so I'm still stumped!!!

All other ideas are welcome....

Try to follow the cables. They should end up in the fuses.

Hi Bert,

if you are talking about the 2.0 Coupe... I can assure that the fuse box is behind the center wood part above the glove box. Take a thin screw driver, put it carefully between the upper dash and the wood and there you go... the wood will come out... and behind you will find the fuse box.

Best Regards

Hi,

The fuse box is under the dashboardImage

You have to find 4 screw
2 of them are under the left and right lights of the dash

Thanks for posting some helpful pictures. I have3 a 72 coupe (2400) tht was built near the end of the production run. Chassis number of 000 5971. I am having trouble believing that to replace a blown fuse I have to remove the entire dash cover. That seems too extreme and is certainly not "user friendly: but I can clearly see the row of fuses in your photo.

Once I locate the 4 screws that hold the dash, how difficult is it to get the cover away from the air vents? I'm going to make this today's project because I need to get the parking lights /turn signals working again. I just hate the thought of taking that interior apart to do something as simple as replace a blown fuse......:(

I'd rather try to remove the A/C unit that is in place of the glove box.

Dont get confused: normally you find the fuse box within the glove box where you can open a small latch and there the fuse box Comes out.
So normally it is absolutely easy to Change a fuse.

In case of a A/C I don´t know how it is, if you can open the glovebox.

KR, Thomas
