Hey you, I've got an '89 Mitz Lefty Minicab 4x4 Van and I had someone hook my jumper wires bass ackwards the other day. Now she's dead as a doorknob. I immediately looked for the fuse box (under the dash near driver's door jam BTW) and all the fuses were good.... Is there a fuseable link or main fuse somewhere I don't know about??? Thanks! Kelley
Thanks! I did end up finding some info in this thread. But it doesn't say exactly what it looks like or where it is... At least I know the area to look now at least! Thanks for getting involved. http://www.minitrucktalk.com/showthread.php?t=4560&highlight=main+fuse
Sorry its not an exact location or perfect description. I know the ones I've had were easily found and replaced, it's an oddball fuse or fuseable link. Open up the seat and look a little, you should find it. if you haven't by tomarrow I'll take some pics and post them up of the oldest one we have on the lot, not sure we have an 89.
Fuse Holders Hey no problem at all. I'm sure I'll find it as soon as I get another look. If it's wierd looking I'm going to swap it out with something easier to maintain anyway. I'm sure it would be usefull for others though so go ahead an put it up! Make sure you put "main fuse" the year and model in the thread title! Have a good one!
I couldn't find it! I'm a little bummed out. I looked and looked. The only harness I could see was in the carb area. I figured it would be in a holder on the chassis, no? Any help would be appreciated.
I have a few of the truck versions of your van and have found the fuseable links taped inside a section of the harness and attached to the under side of the drivers seat hinges by the bendable tabs that wrap around the harness. i had to cut away some of the oem harness wrap. the fuseable link is a pigtail two-wire clip with about a 1" loop of wire. looks like something that you would find clipped to the back of an alternator but, with only a 1" wire looped back to itself.
Minicab main fuse is under the seat inside the harness Hey there Dan, Aren't you the one that posted pics of the innards of the mits transfer case? You're pretty useful around these parts. I'll have a look for it. That really helps because there's no way I was going to find it....
Yeah, that was probably me... when i discovered this site i was posting everything i could to add to the mini-movement. I haven't been through the vans but, i would guess that they're very similar. hope you find what killed your mini. let us know.
