Geoff thank you but I have a copy of the wiring diagram in my owners hand book.

The wiring diagram shows a fuse but it does not tell you which fuse in the fuse box. You can work out if its direct power or ignition power but not which fuse.

Most cars have a diagram showing the fuse box and the fuses are labelled 1 to 8. I have had a melt down on the power side of the two fuse boxes but its very hard to sort out which fuse works which circuit

Peter,
I have sold my 411 but still have a 603 which probably has a similar fuse box arrangement if you could post or send me a picture of the fuse boxes affected on your car I can check the layout on the 603 and if its the same I can pull the fuses individually to see what they protect if that would help.
Geoff.

Geoff that is a very kind offer. I guess I could do that on my 412. Silly me I guess I just hoped some one might have actually known. Or even better the manufacturer, might have at some stage, actually told their customers, like all other car manufacturers do.

Peter,
I seem to remember when I had my 603 we had to establish which fuse did what ourselves as the wiring was partly dismantled, it was a long while ago though, I should have made a note but didn't, I was told the 603 is the most difficult to re wire, the layout on your 412 is much more likely to be the same as the 411.
Geoff.

I cannot recall where I found this now or the car it is for (will be a 411 or later), but it might help

than you XSERIES

My guess is this info is from a much later model. The 411 only has 2 fuse boxes with 4 fuses per box a total of 8. There are other single fuses spread around. I have managed by a process of elimination to partly sort it out. I am yet to compare the 412 to the 411 as my 403 is on my hoist with the brakes in pieces. All the wheel cylinders are seized from lack of use so I am taking the opportunity to fit a power booster and upgrade to silicone brake fluid.

Default 411 fuse boxes

Hello Peter,

Don't know if it's of any help, but I'm attaching the relevant page from my 411 IV's handbook. My eight fuses are under two covers, also attached.

Best regards, Pat.
