Gray Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I recently purchased a 1983 Dolphin/Toyota mini motor home and I have some electrical system issues. I was missing the Marine battery and I purchased the correct size from Sam's Club. When I put it in, I saw a loose, thick green common wire and I don't know where it goes. The engine is a R20, four cylinder with a 5 speed manual transmission. I've seen this combo on Selicas from that time, so its strong and relatively straight forward, but all the extra wiring is confusing to say the least. Do any of you have one of these models and can you send me a picture(s) of all wiring in the engine compartment? I also need to know where the fuse box is located. I have looked all over the inside and I can't find it. The AC and Dometic fridge works, but I have fourteen lights inside and not a one works even though I am hooked up to a 20A outside socket. The manual says everything should work if I am plugged in, but other than three outlets and the two appliances, there is nothing. I presume that is due to bad or missing fuses, but where are they? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 There is a converter/charger but I didn't see a fuse box. I might have to climb underneath too see if there is one and that is a major pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well have a plate that has never been off held on with a hex screw there should be no fuses exposed to weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
