A Pic of 70 Challenger Fusebox
« on: February 17, 2015 - 11:43:21 PM »
I've searched here (and internet) ... can't find clear, readable pic of fuse box with lettering of what each fuse goes to and amperage.

Anybody have one?  Thanks   :2thumbs:

this looks right but may not be able to zoom in enough to see the print on it
I recall all the fuses are 20 amp except the radio which is 5

Dash lamps usually 5 amp I believe.

Thanks guys.

Another quick one - I am installing a/m gauges (temp and oil pressure) ... if I just jack from a current fuse at say 20 amps - and the gauges are 5 amps ... I can just put an inline 5 amp fuse between the fuse box and gauge .. right?  The amperage is really what is being "pulled" from the source not pushed?  So where I clip into a 20 amp fuse - what is already there is pulling/loading plus the gauges .... the 5 amp fuse between that and gauges just protects gauges?  And the 20 amp fuse is protecting everything on that circuit from pulling over 20 amp all together?

Or am I all messed up in the head?   :roflsmiley:

Hey Neil,  :wave:

I think the Panama sun is getting to you down there! Remember the good old "one year only parts" on the 70 models? Well, here is another patch fix that was installed on the main dash harness. The dash lights was rated a 3 amp fuse and the turn signal flasher used an adapter fuse for the turn signals down steam. Most of those adapter were tossed. The 71+ were 5 amp at the dash light fuse block.

Eric says hello, too!  :wave:
