Didn't get a handbook when I bought the car, and over the last 2 days both the horn and the heater have stopped working. Am assuming its either fuses or a wiring problem. Will be buying a haynes manual at the weekend, but any help in the meantime would be greatly appreciated ! :-)|||Hello,
assume you have twin fast-on connector fuses in your Felicia.
You don't have to know which fuse protects which component.
When a fuse is blown, you should replace it with a new of the same current rating. Fuses are color-coded and there's a piece of wire in them. This wire burns due to a current above the rating, which could happen eg. during a schort-circuit. Some frequent codes:
BROWN-7 A (Amper) , RED-10 A, BLUE-15A, YELLOW-20A, GREEN-30A.
All you have to do is to check all your fuses. With the car powered off, pull each of your fuses out one-by-one and see if the wire inside is burnt (you can't miss it, in this case the whole plastic casing is burnt :D) replace it with the same rating (-%26gt; color). I suggest you to check all fuses, it's not an unknown phenomenon to buy a used car, replace some fuses and long-meant-to-be-dead subsystems come back to life :D and older fuses are more prone to blow below the nominal rating due to ageing.
And by the way, I have a Skoda too :D, a '89 Skoda 120 (former east-Europian rear-engined car, model was known as "Estelle" in west-Europe) and she newer let me down. No one can show me a better car for 200 USD :D !!!
It DOES worth :D !!!|||Man, I gotta know -- did you actually PAY for a Skoda?|||There under the Passengers side|||what the hell ive never hard of that kind of car|||Just look 4 the fuse panel, located somewhere under the steering rack probably, and pull your fuses out 1 at a time to see iff they've gone!!!|||dont waste money putting new fuses in, be worth more than the car!
