1990 MX5 Eunos Fuse Box location. - jackies
Hi, I've just got a 1990 MX 5 which came without a manual or anything. WHERE IS THE FUSE BOX????? I've looked all over and I'm coming to the conclusion it runs without fuses! Please help!

According to our book (workshop manual, not handbook) there are two main boxes.

One on the drivers side inner wing, back towards the bulkhead.
One under the steering column, visible after removing the lower access panel.

The book is right for our 1998 1,6 and covers all the models.

There may also be a small one in the boot by the electric ariel.

There are rather a lot of them to list, post back what you are having a problem with and I'll look up the relevant details.

I found that the fuses were an "odd" size, but it may be just my age!

Forgot to add that the manual says that their uses are printed on the covers.

I can highly recommend www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/28

I don't see how you missed the fusebox under the bonnet. The one under the dash is easy to miss. Be aware that the main fuse, in the under-bonnet fusebox is BOLTED in and needs the fusebox undoing to get at the bolts (after disconnecting the battery of course)!!

Cheers for that. I was/am having trouble with the brake lights but it now seems it's the brake light switch so it's gone into today to have that done. I'll have another good look round when I get it back and find those fuses if it's the last thing I do. I probably missed the one under the bonnet because I didn't look there - I assumed the box would be in one of the usual places, teach me to make assumptions!
