Where theres smoke.........
Discussion
Esprit S2
After a couple of months with no rain here (Dunedin, New Zealand), guess what happened on the 'Best of British' car day. Some british weather :P
Anyway heading home over the Kilmog hill, the horn starts blaring and then smoke fills the cabin. I disconnected the battery in a hurry expecting melted wiring. The only thing I could find was a blown fuse. So I carefully replaced the battery lead and continued on my way. Only the horn seemed to be out of order.
Checking the car later I found the relay was melted hence the smoke. The wiring seems OK but the fuse seems a bit high at 30A for the size of the wiring. Will try a 15A.
What I would like to know is what the each of the fuses do. Could work it out, but if there is a wiring diagram available....Would help in future too.

That Kilmog hill is a shocker when its frosty. When I had the MR2 I had to drive real slow going down that hill or slide off the road as its not level, you head towards the ditch. Pretty dangerous eh. Moved up to Auckland from Timaru about 6 yrs ago dont have to worry about frosts, just the traffic. Hope you get help with your technical probs.
