Egg on face time? 700 1989

Egg on face? -no, just an incomplete thought. You're right, like your '93 green manual, the '89 manual has inconsistent fuse orientation on the FI page compared to the fuse panel diagram at the front. By the time they got to the '95 manual it was consistent. Moral of that story, if there's any doubt then use a meter or check under the fuse panel to see which wires go to which side of the fuses. As you lament, life was simpler with 240's, the fuse panel wires were exposed.

Now as to bragging about putting your 940 FI relay remotely in the glove box so you can hear it clicking, I'm starting to worry about you. That's precious real estate in there, especially after they did such a poor job of re-designing the glove box to accomodate the air bag and condenser. Perhaps you haven't completely adjusted to owning such a refined car. With 240's that might be considered rational, but with 940's I'm afraid that's an indicator of "relay phobia", which you mis-diagnosed as anal behaviour in your previous post. With time I hope you can be cured, but it may take professional therapy. At least you didn't go overboard by attaching a stethoscope or rigging up a baby monitor -that might have required an intervention. ;)
