mike Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 from top right and counterclockwise... park/tail light 10 amp, headlamp 15 amp, horn/stop/hazard 15amp, meter/reverse/regulator 10 amp, wiper/washer/heater 15 amp, and solenoid on the top left 10 amp. The 3 on the left are keyed power and the 3 on the right are constant power. Hope this helps. I fixed a bunch of crap on my brothers truck and gave him a factory wiring diagram (olddatsun site in the FAQ on here), a diagram of the fuse block, and a diagram of the hot start relay (Hainz I think drew one out and theres pics on here). With those three I can trouble shoot the entire rig with a testlight. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 BTW, once you melt the marker light fuse it'll just keep doing that until you fix the actual problem. Typically it's the front park/turn light wiring where it passes through the lower inner fender to go under the core support- there's a grommet in the inner fender that rots out due to road spray (or battery acid on the pass. side) and then the wires rub on the metal, causing an intermittent short.

green lantern Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 this is true I was just going to do the carrier bearing ended up replacing 10 bolts and couple cv joints but that is the curse of owning and restoring a classic a buddy of mine told me that with a new car you make car payments but with an older car you just plan on puttinf the payment in to the car just as a repair bill / upgrade bill every month Quote Link to comment
