i have been in need to replace fuses from the main box (there are other 2 but are way smaller and straightforward), and found myself at loss.
i will have to bring a pic of the main box to explain my confusion:

Engine Compartment Fuse Box

as you see, the way they are numbered dont match the logical order. ideally it should start from the top left (#1), then next right down (2), or to the right column (#2)
but it does not.
then, there is no 27-28-29. and 30 to 37 are numbered from bottom to top. not only that, there are differences between the coupe and the roadster due to the roof mechanism requiring different capacities and functions. will post both.
am working on making a colored chart so any1 can compare it with the real and see first if all matches. as i got my xf used, am not sure if some1 replaced a fuse with different capacity due to lack of the correct 1, so will check this once the weather allows me.
but you can do so-as i said, once i can color the chart and show here. stay posted.
what adds to the problem is that, even if the positions are numbered on the real box, is not in colors, just by relief, and being small and not having perfect light-and some dust-are very hard to identify.
hence my idea of using a colors chart.
this is a pic of a box: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-CHRYSL...-/232894559868
in perfect light, and clean as this, you may be able to identify the numbers, but in real life you may not.
of course, if you dont have problem identifying them, please disregard all of this.

 

Very confuseing.

 

in the meantime, here is something that also may be of help: a chart of codes, colors, and some advice on fuses:
https://www.onallcylinders.com/2017/...r-truck-fuses/

 

Is'n there a card telling you what fuse is what, on the underside of the fuse cover?
Every car came with one and they are important - as the fuses moved around a little from trim level to trim level and year to year.

 

yes, but the location is what am trying to identify: the chart just shows the number and what it is for, but it does not show the exact place.
my purpose is to let identify the function with the location with colors so it is easier to find it.

 

and in case you need fuses, i got these:

 

I bet it’s been 20 years or more since I had to replace a blown fuse.

 

as i said on the 1st post: " of course, if you dont have problem identifying them, please disregard all of this. "

if you dont need any of this, then, why post?

 

Phil
you may be over complicating a really simple concern
The fuse colours are all listed in the owners manual by number and what they are for.

Get yourself a few coloured pencils and add the correct colour to the fuse location

then you will always have this as a reference chart. Sometime between now and 10 years from now you’ll need to change a fuse. Your chart will be ready

Now with the DIY coloured keyed reference chart (it, coloured fuse chart, can even be laminated for a long life) you will be all set.

If you have a manual, then you’ve had your answers all along.

 

So sorry, I’ll try not to post in the future unless I have pertinent information.

 

thank you sir. this will help to keep the thread clean.

will post the charts with colors soon.

 

You have way too much time on your hands

 

guys, i hope some will find this useful.
and positive, polite comments are always welcome.

 

i have been struggling, trying to understand why after coloring a chart and checking at the car the real fuse box, things didnt match.
it was until, when searching, found a thread where it is discussed. see https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...fuse-list.html -see post 2
pizzaguy said: Careful. THe fuse positions and assignments vary based on year and trim level.
still will try to post some specific.
the best advice i can give is: check that the fuses match the card in the fuse box for your specific car.
dont use the data on the posts like those i show at the beginning. they dont match.
my concern is that if i use a fuse that is of more capacity, the system may overcharge and burn something. (i have seen cars burning, and that could be due to this).
if of less, it may blow without need, but this is not so bad. still, would like to do just what is supposed to be the capacity that has been designed for-and tested.
and whoever designed this with sense of responsibility should check that both sources match. but i may be asking too much, isnt it?

 

The same guy mentioned that fact in post #4 of this thread, you have to read your replies.

 

Feel free to do that, your posts are confusing and generally useless.

 

I agree, and many more of a silent majority also agrees with you and I...
