Fuse board layout

[schueymcfee]

Could somebody possibly give me a quick run down of the location of various relays on the fuse box?

It's 1993 Chimaera - just looking for the horn relay, and wanted to know if every socket should have a relay in it, as mine appears to have many in the centre missing.

Thanks.

94 standard:

Top:
1 Dip
2 spare
3 blanked out
4 HORN
5 Ignition
6 Courtesy Light Delay

Bottom
7 Fan
8 Spare
9 Wash Wipe Delay
10 VW Diesel glow plugs :-)
space where unused fusible link is
11 Main beam


The horn switch circuit is thru Fuse 19 (shared with interior lights) but the power circuit for the horn is shared with fans on fuse 3.

I have my own wiring diagram for the fusebox which may be of help if you need to investigate further.

HTH, Dave

sounds ok.. mine looked like this (1993 4.0):

PS.. I'm guessing that spend's 94 was the later battery position with the fuesboard the other way up. For reference, the BIG blue one is the delay module for the wipers.

Ther are about 10 different layouts. The bible has all that I know of but empty relay sockets in the centre is quite common.

No mine was like that Matt.....

Since it was impossible to get the battery in... The Fusebox was down in the damp.... I converted it (as well as replacing most of the wiring) Having the heavy battery lower down seemed a sensible 'performance' upgrade. Having seen so many of the steps in the wheel arch ground away by tyres I also removed that little snag at the same time... Who cares if passengers are'nt comfy....

On investigation no idea why the hell the dip relay was put in position 1, position 2 has a fixed earth, so 1 less jumper wire required in fuse box?? Position 1 is very suitable for second fan relay as an upgarde. I also found that several of the terminals into the fusebox connectors had actually been inserted the wrong way round (loose as hell) - whether by TVR or an 'alarm installer' I dont know? Thank God VWP stock the terminals.

Simon had my old brakes, sounded like his is similar build model to mine, so educated guess fuse layout is similar.

My nomenclature for the fuse box was simply dictated by having the writing on the fuse box the right way up :-) even tho it is bolted in upside down???? Details are at www.dspen.com/TVR/my_M0264.gif &

You can probably work out the alterations I've made, but the internal circuitry is valid for all models with that fusebox.

That's excellent thanks everyone.

Looks like the only one I have missing is the red one in the centre on the bottom row. Anyone know what this does?

Thanks.

It should be the Horn IIRC

That'll be why my horn isn't working then!

Thanks for the quick responses on this.
