I have a '79 or '80 280ZX. A fuse blew, but I do not have the box cover to ID it. It is the fuse in the extreme upper left hand corner. If anyone could help me out I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Dan

 

I dont know if it is different than a 82 but here are some pics that should help.. Let me know

 

Thanks for the help s/cL3.0, but they are the canister type fuses...

i've got an 81 with the glass fuses. going by my cover, the uppermost left fuse is for the air cond (20A).
hope this helped!

79 is different from the 81. On the 79 diagram the upper left is labeled as HR, which is the right side headlight. Now if the wiring diagram is anything like the one for my 81, the upper left on the diagram is actually the lower left because my fuse box is rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise from the diagram, which would mean that the upper left in the car would be the rear defogger. So either your right headlight shouldn't be working or your rear defogger isn't working. Which ever is out, that's the blown fuse. All the corner fuses in your box should be 20Amps except for one, the right headlight one is 10Amps. Either way, that should make it easy enough to find your problem. If for some reason my wiring diagram is wrong, then what is the Amp rating of the fuse that blew? Otherwise, hope this helped.
