Default Is this fuse box for 1985 look good?

Is anything wrong with this at all? Or how can I diagnose it?

The number by the description is the proper size for the fuse. The wiring is matched to these fuse sizes.

If you blow that size fuse then you have a problem that needs to be corrected.

This car either has serious electrical issues, or an ignorant owner.

You didn't buy a good car to start with. They need a lot of maintenance. You will need hands on help to maintain it.

BTW, fuse sizing is kind of a big deal. They have different ratings and mixing them *****-nilly can result in an electrical fire.

Correct this before proceeding.

You need to flip this fuse so that the 5 reads right side up. Right now the current is going through it backwards and it's not good for the car

Why me? I was just asking. In-line fuse holders do not have arrows.
