Auxiliary fuse box location rhd
« on: April 09, 2021, 07:08:47 »
Anyone know where the auxiliary fusebox goes on a rhd pagoda? I'm redoing the wiring harness and want to put a switched and permanent (for the radio).
I assume it goes on the relay bracket but can see it in many different locations on the lhd cars.
Thanks!

Col230ce, for LHD cars I think the locations of the fuse boxes are fairly clear:
- one for radio and power antenna goes on the bracket next to voltage regulator; in a lot of cars the wires are wrapped in the harness and need to be peeled out at that location
- the other one for auxiliary devices (e.g. fog lamps) goes on the bracket near the brake booster (a couple of configurations there, but same location)

i will look at engine bay pictures of RHD cars to see the fuse boxes there and share if I find them.

Attached for LHD.

You may search for "radio wiring" and for "fuse box" or "auxillary fusebox".

Here I might have found something that may be of interest: https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=10172.msg67492#msg67492

I think I would use search and search for "fuse box". You may find more on RHD.

Thanks Pawel

I've decided to put it under the dash so it's out of sight... I couldn't get a definitive answer for the rhd.

Neither have I, to be honest. Looked through lots of RHD engine bay pictures on google, but could not spot any auxiliary fuse boxes...
