57 under dash fuses

[Ward 57]

What are the fuse sizes for under the dash? The courtesy light appears to take a 7 amp AGW but right now I have an AGC crammed in there and the radio fuse appears to be shorter also But don't know the recommended AMP rating. Are there any others under there and what sizes?

If you go to page 62 of the owner's manual the fuse ratings are listed. Unfortunately The style of fuse is not listed as AGW or AGC or SFE or what ever XXX. that should be a t least a starting point.
good luck, J.

Yah, That's what I've found even scouring the wiring diagrams in the electrical manual. They just mention a fuse. There is a supplier who sells them but wont post the physical size to just buy them locally. I just want a back-up supply as I plan on tinkering under the dash. Installing a battery switch so it will allow me to tinker under there without messing with the battery cables themselves and shorting something out.
