Larry, That's why I build new fuse boxes! The Prince of Darkness has struck again! I have several Alfa owners looking for me to do upgrades to their fuse boxes.

  Hi Chris,

  Welcome to ItalaLucus. I spent 3 hrs on this the first time I saw it. What 
  you are describing is how the fuses are wired. Left front right rear etc. 
  You have a bad fuse on bad connection in the fuse box.

  If you think about it, not a bad way to do it at all, just not normal for 
  us.
