I've been cleaning the dash and installing new fuse holders on my 77 Tique. I neglected to note the fuse sizes before I removed the old holders. I ended up with 4-10 amp fuses and 1- 20 amp. Where does the 20 amp go? The horn? Thanks, Pete

No one has answered yet, so Ill wager a guess. Id say the larger breaker is for the ignition.

Nice guess Tim, you're right. The proof is in the references section.

Thanks for the input. Yes I did go to the references section before posting the question. The only problem is those wiring diagrams are for later years. The 77 has its own fuse for the horn wereas in later years its power came off the ignition switch. Looking at amp ratings of various loads some horns can get quite high and the reason a relay is sometimes used. That is why I thought that maybe the 20 amp was from the horn. Pete
