Pulling the parking light fuse.
Written by alfr4d on 3/20/2012 at 11:31 am

You are very much right. I gave off a great part of the warnings. Not left to
mention that my key could be extracted in the wrong position without the light
being on. I tried it out so I know that checking at the rearif the light is
burning does not help either. a Little time or finger tapping and on they went.

In case of emergency you can replace the fuse simple enough. That said, do not
forget to wrap a thin wire round the fusebox in order not to loose the cap. When
taking the fusebox off to eight a clock you can stick it under the clip at the
back so it will stay into place. The instructions of placement are at a sticker
on the inside of the dust-cap.

My LED tail lights increased the time the light can be on enormously. 0,4 Watt
per bulb. Here again is the slide-show of pictures. Note that the middle light
is more modern and "warm white" the tail/brake is too cool to be true red really
but do not tell the camera.

The wedge-bulb for the mid section is a problem bulb because these will turn
black on the inside. I have seen many PC's with almost no light there at all.
Not to mention that the clear window to the license plate is not kept clean. My
new long LED fixed all problems and having three LED's will make the Parking
function on the early model functional. The fuse is not an issue here, that left
air duct / maintenance lid is the first thing you open when in trouble. Probably
feeling if the regulator is cold and the fuses.

You do not know the fuse placement? Here it is for your convenience:

F Parking 10A B. (Brown wire) ('89 model or place for spare)
a Headlight 10A C. (Black-Red wire)
n Turn, Tail-Stop, Meters, Dash, Horn 15A D. (Black-Brown wire)
m Ignition, Fuel pump 10A E. (Black wire)

A - A. (Blue-Black wire)

Greetings. Alfred

It has happened once at work and twice at home and I even went so far as to
paint a stripe on the ignition switch so I would be less likely to do it again.

suggested before in this forum. With the left side panel off it took less than
a minute to pry the cap off the little white fusebox and remove the 10A
(careful, it's one of several) fuse. Tested without it and everything else
works so I must not have screwed anything up. One less thing to worry about.
