So was playing last night & noticed 4 fuses are missing from my fuse block under the drivers side dash. Counting form left to right they are fuses 5,6,7 & 8. <_<

I also noticed my rear lights aren't working.

Could these problems be linked??

Brings up a few questions:
What size fuses should be in the missing gaps?
What do all the 12 fuses do, Haynes lists 4 or 5 wiring diagrams. I guessed the 1973 one would be the same for my 74 2L
Anyone got a pic of the rear lights on, plus a 2nd pic with the rear & brake lights on?

just take a look at the OWNER'S MANUAL

it's a scan out of my '74 manual (look at my avatar)

So long,
Gustl
