1971 Satellite Fuse Diagram

[PappyJoe]

Having a little issue with my lights. I'm checking the fuse block and getting no power to the lamps fuse, either side. In the process I went ahead and pulled the fuse and it broke. It says it's a 5amp. My question would be is that the correct size? Does anyone have a diagram of the fuse block with the correct sizes? I know replacing it won't fix my problem but I'd like to confirm the correct size to put back in. Thanks

check bulk head connections

The 5 amp “lamps” fuse is for the dash illumination lights only, will only be powered up when the headlamp switch is on and is subject to dimmer voltage. What “lights” are you having trouble with?

Thanks! That has a ton of good information

Headlights, tail lights, markers aren't working. I'm not using any of the dash lights, have after market gauges. All of the other fuses had power.

Start by checking for battery voltage at B1(black with tracer, 12 ga) and B2(pink, 18 ga) on the headlamp switch.

Will do. Thanks

If, battery voltage is present on both switch power terminals (B1 & B2), check the switch out terminals for battery voltage, for park and marker lights-first pull out on the switch, you should have voltage at R, (black, 18 ga). For headlamps, should have battery voltage at H, (16 ga light green), second pullout on the switch.


B1 is unswitched battery voltage sourced from a welded splice in the dash harness, it is not fused.

B2 is unswitched, is fused on the “Cigar” labeled fuse at the bottom of the fuse box.

Embarrassed to post this but I found the problem with my lights. It seems they work much better if the connector is actually connected to the switch.

I had to loosen up the instrument bezel a few weeks ago. Guess I haven't had a reason to look at the lights since then. Must have moved it around enough to loosen that plug.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks for the information guys.
