Default fuses

i recently posted a thread regarding my passenger side xenon and corner light being out

I thought it mught be a fuse related issue -and one of the other memebers said a fuse change fixed his problem

I found the fuse box-always wondered what that little *** in the pasenger side footwell was
but there is no diagram to let you know what fuses correspond to what

I don;t have the manual

-so I was wondering if you guys could tell me which fuse corresponds to the passenger side xenon?

I laready have the fuses- thanks for all the help

DC

Default fuse box top row info , lights, horn, etc.

The manual says lights are on the top row, the "black fuse carrier", but I am certain my problem was on the 4th or 5th row from the top.

Here is what the manual says: Top Row
1. left side marker & tail light (5amp)
2. right side marker and tail light (5amp)
3. right low beam (15amp)
4. left low beam (15amp)
5. left high beam (10amp)
6. right high beam & high indicator light (10amp)
7. emergency flasher (15amp)
8. horn (15amp)
9. diag. function for instruments, relay for solor roof (5amp)
10. wipers (25amp)

Default Just because a fuse looks good doesn't mean it is. Use a multimeter

to check continuity between each of the contacts on the fuse.

Default It might not even be a fuse, but the fuse panel is a good place to start.

What exactly is out? Low beams? High beams? Parking lights? They are all separate circuits so if there is more than one of the above out, it is probably not a fuse.

Be careful, different fuses are used in different locations for different year cars
