i have an 88 dl wagon and when a fuse goes bad it says check fuse10 or what ever number. how do they number the fuses?

does nobody know? it's a mystery.

Never heard of anything like that

it says in the repair instuctions to check fuse  say 25 how do you number them?

Ok, I found it.  In section 6 of the FSM. 

 

Fuses are numbered starting at the top left fuse = 1.

 

3 rows of 8 fuses [except 3 blank ones on the last / bottom row]

that makes more sense. i will get a white magic marker and put a no. 1 top left and an arrow pointing down because i will not remember that tip, i also mark my plug wure on top of the cap and at the plug end and on top of the dist cap and write the firing order on the radiator support and oil cap. on the inside of the hood,and the belt no., that may be overkill but i don't drive the car often enough to memerize this info.
