Text for 80 & 82 Fusebox Needed
Does anybody have a photo that shows the silk screen text for a ’80 and a ’82 fusebox? (they are different)
I can’t see under there very well, and am getting tired of pulling each fuse to find the blown one.

Sorry, mine's a couple hundred miles away right now, but save yourself some time. Get you a test light, clip one end to the door buzzer switch, and tap the metal pieces on each fuse. The one that doesn't light up is generally the one that's blown.

Both 80 & 82 use "modern" push-in fuses, with no metal exposed.
The white text on the fuse box appears to be silk-screened onto the box. The text tells what each fuse is for. My stockings have a run... can't read them any more.

Thanks Butch & Avette4me that's exactly what I needed.
Xakk, that method is empirical and mostly a waste of time, not to mention difficult. The easiest & quickest (therefore best) method is to go with the documentation: if something doesn't work, look up where it is on the fuse box and go straight for the fix.

Each to their own I guess. For me, that's the fastest and easiest way to check to see if I have a blown fuse. In just under a minute or so, I can hit all the fuses in the box. If it doesn't light up, pull it out and check it. Also helps to track down those things that don't have their own fuse, especially if you don't have the documentation handy. But hey, what ever works.
