tlake Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Have a 89 Loyal AWD Turbo wagon. Under the hood near the firewall just above the brake master cylinder is a small black box labeled FWD. It looks like a fuse could go there. Is there supposed to be one and if so what amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 If you place a fuse in that holder, it will put the transmission into FWD mode only. There should be info in the owner's manual if you have it. Only use the FWD fuse if you have to. It will not provide any increase in gas mileage like one might suspect.

tlake Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks for the info. Owners manual is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 FWD (putting the fuse in) is used for diagnostics and smog testing. Most smog testing places don't even both though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, not to be picky but if you got an '89, It's not a Loyale, it's a GL or GL-10 they are essentialy the same car but it can make for confusion in here and you'll get some feathers ruffled 'round here if you don't know the lingo.

Which is why we should go by the JDM name, Leone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostvdw Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Which is why we should go by the JDM name, Leone or european, L-series in fact, I've heard many names for the same car, L1 and L2, L-series, leone1 and leone2, the names here, loyale, gen1 and so on, and of course the AU members call them brumby, vortex and what not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlake Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well it says Loyale on the side and the build date is 01/89 if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well it says Loyale on the side and the build date is 01/89 if that makes a difference. Hmmm. Someone could have replaced the original rubber side strips. Or maybe they started making the '90 models a year early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
