Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

I'm glad this topic has come up again. I finally put your lights in and they no worky. Of course, I knew they wouldn't since the ones I took out were good and they weren't working either. So, I guess now I'll search for the 10 amp in line fuse. If I'm not mistaken it's located off of the drivers side parking light? If that is good I probably need to search for a switch installed by the PO. Any other ideas?

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

David,
On the drivers side just to the back of the assemblies directly below the headlight on the hood when up is a little two part fuse container with the ten amp spade fuse in it. My lights didn't work when I got the car and the owner had simply taken the fuse out. The female part of the fitting on mine is attached to a metal bracket about an inch and a half long and you can rotate it up a little. Just pull the short "cover" off while holding it and check for fuse or good fuse. I'm told many never put a switch in, just take the fuse out. Mine is in with led's in now so I don't remove it but know where it is.

From the tire, look forward and down and in about 8" from the fender edge...dark color so it's easier to see with a flashlight. One of the two holder sections has the two wires coming out of it to hold the head of the fuse and the spades go into the female end fastened to the metal piece. Not large assembly at all.

My recommendation will depend on what in the way of equipment you have. Do you have a volt/ohm meter? or test light ?
If you do then I'd start at the connector just to the right and forward of the coolant over flow container.(passenger side) You'll see two or three connectors there. Trace these to where they are going. Find the one going to the hood not the head lamps. Check that it is plugged in. If it is, unplug it and check for ~12V there (on the car side not hood side). I go about it this way to mentally isolate half of the wiring. If you have 12V then the issue is with the wiring in the hood or the mercury switches. If you don't have 12V then there is a fuse problem or as you say, someone added a switch somewhere and didn't document it.

Do you have the FSM called "Section 8A Electrical Diagnostic Service Manual Supplement" ? If not I can scan in the relevant page.
We'll have you going in no time.

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

Lance do you have a picture of where this fuse is? Anybody?

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

Yes, will dig it out tomorrow...not on my tablet.

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

Lance found it next to the vaccum bowl. Thanks D

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

Yep, that's the spot...good.

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

Yep, I found it. It wasn't what I was expecting so thanks for the description. Opened it up and wouldn't you know it...no fuse. Popped in a 10 spot and glorious LED light poured down upon me. Thanks for the help.

While I was digging around I came across a plug that was unplugged and I have no idea what it's to. Any ideas?

I plug it in and nothing seems to happen. That I know of I don't have anything that isn't working except my antenna, backup lights and CHMSL.

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

So, my '90' has plugs for the lights, that are currently unpluged. I don' see no stinkin' fuse.

Re: Under Hood Lighting
 

Here's the fuse container. Just pop it open to expose the fuse. It even says 10 amp fuse on the top.
