I have a '92 ZR-1 and when purchased, I did not have an owner's manual. I'm trying to determine which fuse may operate the lights under the hood and the glovebox light. They are not working. Is there a schematic somewhere on this site that lists what fuse operates what?

Thanks in advance and see you in Bowling Green. :thumbsup:

On a '93 the diagnosis is listed under 8A-114 Interior lights and glove compartment and underhood on 8A-114-3 in the service manual. The glove box is on the RH CTSY fuse(5 amp) and the underhood has 2 fuses, one in line(10 amp) attached to the Lefthand front side marker and pulls power thru the Interior Lighting fuse(20 amp) which also powers several other items.

Thanks for the response! Good information. After reading your response, I followed the wires down to the marker lights and found that both lights were simply unplugged! After plugging them in they both worked. Cleaned the lenses and back in business! :thumbsup:

I know it's just a little thing, but thanks for the help.

One more thing checked off "The List of things to do".

Apologies for reviving an old thread.

My hood lights were unplugged as well. Is there any particular reason people unplug these?

A lot of guys just unplug the underhood light because they like to sit around and admire the LT5 and do not want to drain the battery. Mine was the same way. And, it still is!

Dave McLellan, chief Corvette Engineer, who I met at Corvettes of Carlisle, showed me how they put a fuse holder for the underhood lights down by the d/s sidemarker lights, so that owners could easily pull the fuse when working under the hood to prevent battery drain. Minutes later, he and Gordon Killebrew handed me a cerficate for Celebrity's Choice Award.

Correct most of have installed the simple on/off toggle switch that mid america sells. Its just a matter of convience so I dont have to turn the fuse holder

Thanks for the congrats... The whole Celebrity Choice trophy award memory was surreal, as there was a hurricane at last year's Corvette at Carlisle, and there was nobody left there on Sunday, after all the tents blew down. I finally received my trophy from Lance, the Fairgrounds owner, who chased me down in his golf cart. Corvettes at Carlisle is including last year's winners in this year's parade.
