That diagram is NOT for your fuse box, never mind the how its wired up revisions...

You have the common standard 6+6 square layout fusebox, and the diagram is for the rarer 6+5 layout.

That's the same diagram as my 2000 year 4.0. If yours should be the same, you have fuse 13 removed (fuel pump and central door locking). Other than that, some of the fuse values have been 'upped' a bit, 30A instead of 25A and so on.

Have you got the Steve Heath bible?

Some would say to stick strictly to the correct fuse, after all a 30A instead of a 25A will allow 30A flow before it blows, possible melting the wiring. That's what they are there for, to protect wiring from melting and starting a fire. Not good on a GRP bodied car!

If that diagram IS correct for your car, both your cooling fans and headlamp main beam fuses have been 'upped' by 5A but they may have been upgraded / replaced.

However, your instruments and door mirror control fuse (No. 16) has been doubled from 10A to 20A which I would change if it were mine.

This is my layout which is slightly non-standard judging by the various diagrams available - none of them quite seem to match what I have



Hopefully might help someone

That's the first chart I have seen with the OP's relay layout, and that includes all the diagrams in the Steve Heath bible
