Large metal encased fuses for 1981

[rojo_atlanta]

After having a 1.2 farad capacitor installed for my after market stereo, I noticed the electric driver seat no longer works. I'm hoping that it's just a blown fuse. Attached are two photos of the fuses near the floor, by the driver's door.

1. Can anyone tell me which fuse is for the power seat?
2. Who/where is a good source for these large metal encased fuses ?

81 owner's manual should show the fuse you're looking for and tell you the replacement you need. Have you pulled/tested the one marked "PWR SEAT" in your pics?

Be my guess that it's the one that says PWR SEAT!!

The metal ones are actually Circut Breakers,and rarely go bad!!

Just about any parts store!(Advance,Auto Zone,NAPA,Parts Plus)

Junk, I'm sure your familiar with the seat/door lock problem on the C4s, I found a bulletin on it, showed exactly what it what was. The seat action pinches a hot wire, frigs the breaker, door locks don't work (first indicator of a problem) either. Anyways, I was probing around fuse area, I put my thumb on that circuit breaker and it SIZZLED, my thumb ,that is. Wow, How close was that to frying........................I found the bulletin on this site.............
