got the car back just now and it's running fine - it was the #5 fuse that blew.

The fuse cover diagram says something about tachometer - sun roof - a few other things but it is a 25a fuse. the original one was 25 years old - the new ones I bought are deep blue - the old fuse barely had any color in it at all.
