The 50 amp fuse is ONLY in the horn circuit .. the 35 amp is for fuel
gauge , flashers , heater .... THE park/ tail/ licence lights did
not come fused in the Austin Healey , a inline fuse of 5 amp should be
installed
in the RED wire behind the head light switch ,... More information is
available in A/H Magazine June 1996 and Jan.1996 and in my Tech Talk book
pages 147&
