Can anyone tell me how many fuseboxes my 1962 mini van should have?
it appears I have 2 fuseboxes each with 2 fuses in.
+ a inline fuse
Is this correct? Or should there only be one fusebox?
cheers

Early cars had a single fuse box with 2 fuses as Vipernoir stated above and I have not seen one with 2 boxes standard are they side by side ?

Yep. Early cars only had 1 fuse box with 2 fuses in it.
Some of the electrical circuits aren't fused (eg the lights) - hence people modifying the wiring system

thanks all. the wiring is a mess so i suspect its some sort of add-on by a previous owner.
good to know the lights arnt fused aswell - i was looking tonight and pulled loads of wires but the lights didnt go off.... now i know why!

The ignition and fuel pump are not fused, but the lights? I'm away to check the wiring diagram.
