NuclearDeLorean Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Hello USMB! My choke has zero voltage. Looking at the wiring diagram, I see a 5a automatic choke fuse! Where!?!? Where is it in the car? Edited September 6, 2020 by NuclearDeLorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subasaurus Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 i would just run a new wire to it, if i remember correctly, that wire is yellow the one you are talking about, i was getting 7v on mine, made no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDeLorean Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 I’m about to. Unless I learn it’s inside the FPCU (Fuel Pump Control Unit). If all fuses in the fuse block are 15A or 25a, where is the 5a rando fuse? I’m giving myself 24 hours to locate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDeLorean Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Just learned that the fuse is NOT inside the FPCU. So WHERE IS IT?!?!?!!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearDeLorean Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 I heard a rumor it is behind the glovebox with some other mystery stuff. Going to look and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 From poor memory I believe you might find it in line all alone in the engine bay. Passenger side. But my 78 4WD wagon which I’m thinking of had a winch at one time and I may be envisioning that fuse. Not able to recall ever dealing with this 5a fuse. Good luck.

NuclearDeLorean Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Thank you! I’m going to take a look and see if there is one where you say, I’ve also been turned on to a spot behind the glove box. It’s precisely 150 million degrees outside, but I’ll check when I can!

NuclearDeLorean Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 THERE. IT. IS. And it was blown. So I put a new 5a fuse in and started the car. No blown fuse, maybe my old carb had an issue. I now have 12v going to the electronic choke and I now have a fully open choke when the car is warm. BAM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
