Default 1979 Escort RS2000 Fuse box Map

Hi

Can someone please help and describe to me from left to right what function each fuse has in this picture? Escort Rs2000 4 door sedan (79)

Does anyone have scanned wiring diagrams that they could email me?

I need to get my hands on a workshop manual for this car. Looking to buy if somebody has one.

Thanks!

I think I might still have a Gregory's manual at home that I don't need now that my escort is gone. I'll check tonight.

Nice one! Thanks Allan. Looks like the previous owner of my RS didn't have a clue of what fuse went where.
