[2012 R300 SV Duratec Factory Built]

I'm trying to work out what fuses correspond to what in my car, but there appears to be no actual documentation of it by Caterham.

True to Caterham form:
- The hard copy manual that came with my car does not even document a layout with the same number of fuses as my actual car (and no matching patterns can be found).
- The latest online manual does have a layout with the same number of fuses, but of course the layout is completely different again and doesn't seem to match my car in any way.

I'm sure I am not the first to be frustrated by this. Does anyone know of a place where all the layouts are documented?

I found this image to match my layout, but I'm a 2004 K Series so there's every chance it's changed since then:

Thanks, but neither of these match my setup. I have 18 fuses in total.
I know that:
- the 5th fuse from the top is brake and reverse lights
- the 9th fuse from the top seems to be the fuel pump

Here is what it looks like (top on the left):

Hey,

Did you get any answers on this?

I have an R500 that has the same 18 fuses and 6 relays that are shown in the photo above. I would very much like to know what does what.

Regards,

Frosty

Both times I have bought a loom for a car they were done to british standards.

If Caterham use BS then the colour of the wires can be looked up fairly easily. I know that sounds unlikely but it makes fitting a loom MUCH easier.

Early-ish Duratec cars seem to be this (source: my 2009 car and compared to a few others of similar vintage, inc. a R400 with Stack dash):



Later-ish Duratec cars seem to be the same but rotated through 180 degrees/upside down (source: above image compared with a 420R). This seems similar to those posted in this thread, with a couple apparently different e.g fuel pump and ignition supply swapped. I don't have an accurate wiring diagram to see if the fuel pump would not run if the ignition supply is cut.
