The fuse panel in my 84 Vanagon has 14 fuses, twelve of which are on the
main panel, the other two are set apart, up and to the right. Didn't
even know they were there, frankly.

Fuses #1 through #13 are shown in Bentley's. #14 is not shown, near as I
can see. The van's owner's manual says that #13 does the rear window
heater and #14 the rear window wiper (where applicable).

My van does not have a wiper. Yet there is a fuse in this position.

My guess is that the fuse was installed mainly for decorative purpose,
to keep van owners from fretting about the empty slot. If so, that fuse
is available for new applications, like in-dash pizza oven, cop
spotlight, or to power a rooftop PA system for the purpose of
broadcasting political messages.
