My AC stopped working a few days ago - not such a problem in January. I checked the fuses and the metal was fine, but the 25A fuse body had melted enough to shorten the fuse and break contact. Is this a somewhat normal event? Haven't started the car yet, just wanted to make sure nothing else weird was going on. Bill, There was a bulletin issued to add an external in line fuse for the blowers on the 1981 and later 126 cars. I think it was about 35 amps. That should solve your problem. I think both the AC fan and the aux ellectric radiator fan run off the same fuse. Funny thing is--Mercedes is still having the same problem, they issued a bulletin for 98-2000 ML cars for the same thing. Also, I just read that the 05 cars have a bulletin to add an inline fuse. Looks like the engineers and the bean counters better get together more often! Regards, Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 262 K miles 98 ML 320, 140 K miles
