Please tell me the purpose of the fuses. Or give scheme. Cutlass Ciera 1982

 

Each fuse protects a certain circuit from possible damage or from causing a fire if there should ever be a short in that circuit.

I think what you mean is that you would like to know what circuit each fuse protects. For that, you'll need either the owner's manual or a factory service manual. An owner's manual for that car ought not to be too expensive nor difficult to find on ebay. Also, some cars have a diagram of the fuse placement on the inside cover of the panel that you remove to get to the fuses. I don't know if your car would have had that.

Here's an owner's manual on ebay right now.

You could also buy a Chilton's manual at your local auto parts store. The Chilton's manual will have a fuse diagram in it and will have instructions for any repairs needed (removal of intake manifold, water pump, starter, radiator, etc).

 

Note where the guy is. How many local auto parts stores will he have in Moscow (I presume Moscow, Russia), and if he has any at all, how many will carry manuals for U.S.-made cars?

 

If you can post a much larger and clear photo, we could possibly tell you which basic circuits are on what fuse.
Are you having trouble with one?

 

With a shop, a big problem.

Need information for each fuse. On the reverse side of the cover schema does not exist.

 

Rock auto has aftermarket manuals, assume they ship to you. Otherwise, turn everything on and pull them seeing what quits.
Somebody here should have a pic.

 

Yes. Who is going to photograph this page for me?

 

I hope someone can get that for you. If I had it I would send it as it is difficult to find manuals in Moskow.
I could not make out much except the lower red 10A fuse for the fuel pump.
The yellow fuse to the left of it looks all melted and deformed! It has like ST LP under it so it may be for stop lamps and other constant power items. The 10A above the fuel pump one looks to say CLK for clock and maybe radio constant power. The blue one says for turn signals and backup lights. The 25A to the left is for A/C and heat fan and compressor clutch.

 

In thinking about this a bit further, and in looking at the photos he's provided, I don't think there will be a fuse panel map in a Hayes manual or in an owner's manual for this car. There isn't supposed to be a fuse panel map on the inside of the fuse panel cover, either. We (or at least I) are thinking too modern here.

As noted, the fuses are labeled right there in his photograph right below each fuse, just as they are on my '67 Delta and '73 wagon. This car is an '82, and it might be modern enough to have those flat-pin fuses, but that's still the era of labeled fuse panels. For some reason, the labels on the OP's panel have been scratched or worn off in most places, which is weird, because why would that happen?

I think the ONLY place he's going to find a picture of the fuse panel with the labels intact, unless another owner of an '82 Ciera comes to the rescue on here, is the '82 chassis service manual. I don't think the owner's manual would have it. They wouldn't likely waste the space in a Chilton's or Hayes manual, either. Any of these would just say to go look at the fuse panel if you want to know what each fuse does.

There is no fuse panel map in the owner's manual of my '67 or my '73. They weren't included in owner's manuals in those days. They are now, but not then. I've seen photos of owner's manuals for '82 Cieras on ebay, and they're not much thicker than the manuals for my old cars.

It always amazing to me the difference in owner's manuals between 1973 and 2013. My wagon's manual is about 1/4-inch thick, and there's just one. My '12 Nissan has at least three manuals, and the main owner's manual is at least an inch thick.

 

Your 2012 comes with a manual?

I rented a car in 2010 and I needed the manual to figure out the 6 positions of the light switch. In Oregon, there are 'safety corridors' where you must use daytime headlights and I did not know what all the stupid 'icons' meant.
I only found a DVD in the glove box that had an "eco-note" that said you could write for a paper manual. You had to pay shipping though. And no, the radio would not play it...
Great help that was. I winged it with no traffic stops.

I almost bought a Canon DSLR but they did not come with paper manuals either, just a pdf. A lot of good that will do in the field doing photography. With a million features and settings,they should be tucked in your camera bag.
Geez....
