TEL 15A fuse?

[Doward]

I can't find the wiring schematic for this power circuit in the TEWD! What gives? I'm trying to see what runs off this, so I know if I can rewire it in 10 gauge and use it to power my relays for the headlight rewire....

I could also use a pinout on the bottom side of the main Junction Block in the engine bay, if anyone has one. TEWD isn't nearly as helpful as I thought it would be in this situation

its for the telephone

Are you serious? I tried searching on here for TEL 15A but not allowed to... I'll uh... try searching for telephone.

While we're at it, does anyone else have a blank hole in the junction block all the way to the engine side of it?

TEL fuse was never used in North American vehicles, hence it wasn't in the wiring diagrams.

It's for the telephone.

So would there be wires run to it from underneath (probably the large square one) already? If I can determine which pins underneath coincide with that TEL fuse (and I assume nothing else is on that circuit) I'll rewire it as the new power supply for my headlight relays

*edit* I don't believe it - http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11993&highlight=telephone

:rofl: Granted, I'm an '88 body harness. Gonna have to do this the old fashioned way (with a continuity tester)

Ok, so in my '87 manual, comes up as a 7.5amp circuit called CHARGE.

Does the power usually flow in the left side through the fuse to the right, or the other way around?

I've got continuity at both of these points:



The 5 pin has an 18-20ga wire running to it, yellow, with two silver dots spaced every few inches.

The 9 pin block has a solid yellow wire, 14-16ga.

I just want to ensure this circuit travels to nothing, before pulling the wiring and re-pinning with 10 or 12 gauge wire.

JJ's already covered this before. If you see this thread, thanks man! Looks like I'll be going a different route to mount a 'stock looking' fuse block in place.

I would wager a guess that this 15 amp TEL fuse is an '89+ option, as we poor '87-'88 guys actually use this circuit.
