Where is the 5a automatic choke fuse? And FOUND!

Featured Replies

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?

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.

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

I heard a rumor it is behind the glovebox with some other mystery stuff. Going to look and see...

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.

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!

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.
