they are battery connected dont go on or off with key test fuse or relay and switch and until repair pull fuse

does it blow or just not hot?

Ask local Alfa Romeo Dealership, the Service Manager will know the answer.

Alfa Romeos are awesome cars but not reliable!! Have a look at a Peugeot 306 CC as long as it is the late model one with the tiptronic (ZF ) transmission.
Here in New Zealand you can't go wrong with Toyota or Nissan 4X4 vehicles ( almost all of ours are Diesel and you can expect 300,000km trouble free as long as you service them regularly.)
I drive a Hilux Diesel ( 1987 ) with 500,000 km on it and it is still totally reliable.

you need to source either the repair manual for them
or just the ignition wiring diagram and wire colour legend for the 1980 and 1985 alfa spider
to see if wire colours are different

search online

at the minimum
there should be two power wires in with start and accessories an earth
not sure if a starter relay was used in the 85
