That's right. But what I'm saying is that something's amiss, because on the
feed side of that fuse I have only one black wire going out, and nothing
else there. Its a mess. The ignition switch wire isn't on that terminal
where it should be. Neither are the reverse lights for that matter. There's
only one male terminal available on the feed side, as opposed to the two on
each of the other sections of the fuse box. Hard to tell, but my guess is
the other one broke off so a po re-rigged it.  Everything seems to be
working ok now, and my run=on is down to one cylinder firing, so I'm very
tempted to let sleeping dog's lie and stay out of that rat's nest (to mix
metaphors).
