Missing Fuses, whats what?
Hi I went through my XJ and checked all the fuses. What I had are good. But it appears I'm missing some.

Number 16 has power to the side w/o the red wire. No power is going to the wire. What is this fuse for? I don't want to add one because I'm not sure what the wire goes to. BTW I do have an Autopage alarm installed, but no remotes for it. It is currently disabled. Not sure if power is going to it. The guy I bought the XJ from didn't mention it. I'm going to buy a remote online and see if it works. Also besides the valet switch for the alarm. I have two mystery switches. One rocker near where your right knee would be while driving. Then another push switch under the dash about a foot away from the valet switch. I have no idea what they go to. The rocker on the side has wires running to it. I have tried that switch and nothing happened. The push switch under the dash I have not tried.

Looks like my ABS doesn't work because all the fuses/relay for it are gone. I'm guessing to turn off the ABS light? What I am wondering are the 30a and 40a fuses that are missing. What do they connect to?
Everything on my XJ works except, rear back up lights, ac/heater blower, and rear window wiper. I have already installed a new heater capacitor, have not tired to test the blower directly. I was hoping my BU lights would just be a fuse, most likely the NSS need to be changed out.
Any help is appreciated thanks. BTW I have been lurking for a while here. Ton of great info here.

The relay box is fine, the missing fuses only have one contact point so there's nothing there for them. As for the inside you'll need to get an accurate diagram for what they all are.
For the ABS i would just leave it be, chances are the system has no fuses/relays for a reason.
