If you look closely it is obvious that the Bentley diagram for 1990
Stereo 4 Speaker is wrong.
Unless you think the clock and interior lights only run when the key is on.
That is page 97.247
Fuse S3 is NOT connected like they show there.
Fuse S3 is correctly shown on 1990 Main Wiring, page 97.210
I some time ago crossed out the 15 connection on 97.247 and drew it up
to 30 where it belongs.
