Look on the right side of the firewall for the master cylinder
reservoir. Left of it is a black plastic box mounted on a larger black
plastic box. The little one contains the 40A fuse, a flat strip of
metal, and it is your most likely suspect. You do need a replacement
Alfa part but a very temporary solution - to get you to a place you can
buy one - is to put both leads on the same terminal.
