Go here for more details but here is a typical fuse block

1 is passenger side.

Try and trace out a few wires to see if this is the right fuse box lay out

8 amp is white and 16 amp is red

DO NOT put over sized fuses in the wrong hole.

Below is a typical wiring diagram that you can get from vintage bus

Hmmm this might be better - this one agrees with the wiring diagram

11 should be brake lights

Anyway - get back to us if you need more help

I had the same problem. Caused by a short in the tail light housing. Open up the housing and check that all wires are in the right spots and not frayed, broken, disconnected or earthing where they shouldn't be. I must have wasted half a dozen fuses before I figured it out (horn is on the same fuse).

Hope this helps.

The wires are colour coded

Just look what colour comes off the fuse that blows and see what it does.

Have a look to see if anything is spliced into that circuit
