The electric antenna uses a 14-ampere fuse mounted in a line holder
above the fuse
block.
Some electric clocks have a
l~-ampere
fuse
mounted on the back of the clock. The air conditioning unit has a
30-ampere fuse mounted in a line holder in front of the dash above
the steering gear. The electric windshield wiper motor has a 30-ampere
fuse in a line holder
on
the passenger side of the dash above the fuse
block. The cigar lighter has a special replaceable fuse or a reset type
