[DeTomaso] Fuse box questtions

 Maybe I'm lucky my factory fuse box cover doesn't have the fuse map on it if it doesn't match the owner manual map.

I'd compare the fuse map that is in the manual to the cover plate and defer to the manual if there are any differences.

Did the factory (or whomever) make a mistake in stamping the plate in such a manner that would lead one to believe that both #1 and #2 fuses are 15 Amp? And not 8?

I am looking at the cover plate which describes the fuse # and what it references. #1 is left light/warning lights - #2 right light, etc. I am assuming the A15’s refer to the amperage (i.e. 15 amps) Judging from what I am looking at, the 15A fuses are to be in the #1 and #2 spots, and 8A fuses in #3 - #6; #7 & #8 are 15A, while #9 - $12 call for 25A. I found the fuses in a local auto shop, but the colors are a little different. The 8A’s are white/cream, the 15A’s are red, and actually 16A (according to the stamp on them) and the 25A’s are blue. As you can see, I do not have the right set-up. I have 40A’s in #9 - #12. I don’t know what amperage is in #1, since the “fine-print” on the back is stamped “MTA”, whatever that means.
