Greg is correct here.  On any white wire on any british car (including all
austin healeys), it is switched power, unfused.

Note what this says about white color on the second page.

I don't know which car you have, but "terminal A3" could very well be
simply a junction block, not a fuse block.

You can put a fuse on the white wire between the junction and the solenoid.
