Default Main fuse box location?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me where the main fuse box is located, on a 1984 Corvette coupe, with manual transmission? I found the one on right side of the dash. I need the main fuse panel.

Thank you.

I think what you found is the main fuse panel. From what I have read, on the early ones there another subpanel in the dash behind the DIC.

If you don't have a FSM I'd recommend you get one.

What component do you have issues with? There's one single fuse box BUT there are a few "fusible links" in the system controlling some components. They're not isolated in a box but located at distribution points.

I'm trying to fix my fog lights, I replaced the two bulbs,the switch seems fine. However, I can't figure out what's wrong? Also my parking brake light doesn't come on when I set the brake?

With the headlamps ON you should have power to the switch and when the switch is ON you should have power out of the switch. YELLOW I believe is the feed from the HL switch to the FLS, PURPLE from FLS should be 12V if head lamp switch is on and the FLS is on. Pretty straight forward. Fogs don't work unless headlamps are on if wired as OE/GM.

The BRAKE light works with key-in "START" for the check? It should I believe, that's the bulb check. The switch at the park brake is a tough find/fix for an '84 I believe. Haven't looked in a long while.

FOGS Aren't fused except "internally" through the headlamp. If the headlamps work then the fogs if wired correctly with good bulbs and good grounds should work also.

If the GAGES fuse and the CTSY/CLOCK fuse are good it would seem likely a switch issue for the BRAKE.
