What is the TEL 15A fuse for?

[chriso]

I was going through some stuff on my new 90 N/A project car and came across the TEL 15A fuse in the fusebox in the engine bay. I have no idea what this fuse is for and my TSRM doesn't indicate what it is either. Any input guys???

Take a picture of where it says TEL. Becuase I dont remember it.

I've wondered the same thing... At the junction box by the battery.... On the cover says, EFI, AM1, AM2, etc.... Then there's a "TEL" there too....

The on-line TSRM doesn't have it:

But my '87 hard copy has it, but its a 7.5 A fuse and its called "CHARGE". Or at least that's the #2 fuse in Junction Block No. 2. In the wire schematic in my book, it shows up next to the 15A Engine fuse.
Sorry I don't have a scanner to scan my schematic for you.

Awesome!! I want a car phone in my supra!!

 

[chriso]

Car Phone??? I think back then you had to have it mounted in the trunk they were so big.

no, you dont want a car phone. the dash i removed from my car had the holes drilled in it for the phone, and i've seen the phone they came with at a supra in the junkyard. you dont want it!

it's attached to a plasitc sleeved metal rod that swivels out of the way. it was probably pretty cool back in the day, though.
