I'm not dumb... just lazy. It's dark by the time I get home from work each night and I've had my elky for under a week. Trying to get the horn to work but figured I'd ask where the fuse panel is rather then roll around in the dark taking screws out of stuff. Thanks! (1985 Elky)

Should be on the drivers side, under the dash, behind a little door that has a little push tab to keep it closed.

8O You have a little door with a little push tab! Jeepers, I don't have a little door. I don't think I've ever seen a little door for the fuseblock on a 5th gen Elky. Can you post a picture of it?

My fuseblock is just above the e-brake pedal. No screw removal is required. :wink:

No little door on my 81, just look under the dash by the park brake handle and there it is.

I have the LITTLE DOOR on mine also.. But found it easier to remove 3 small screws and remove the whole panel under the dash below steering wheel.. real easy and then you have great access to the whole fuse box.

Ooooooo...I want one of those! 8O

I wonder why my El Camino doesn't have it? My 86 MCSS doesn't have one. None of my other El Caminos ever had a little door either.

I feel deprived. :(

Hey Ernie

How much you willing to pay for one? I am not really that attached to mine.. If the price is right!
