ATTABOY and ATTAGIRL!
BTW, I never found that many blown fuses and never had much problem
in MBs I twist em around sometimes if I think there may be a
problem, but I've never replaced good fuses for the fun of it. A
small way I differed from our beloved Herr Doktor. His climate in PA
must have been different than mine.
On the 56 Karmann GHia, I had fuse problems. That is where I learned
to twist em. Those were exposed under the hood. MB fuses in a
nice tight fusebox hold up well.
CURIOSITY:
Did MB ever stop using "German" (DIN?) fuses in favor of the 'merkun type?
SWMBO came in from short trip in the '87 300D, leaned over back of
chair in cool living room where I was napping and announced, "Blown
fuse in the car. I was driving along with air conditioning blasting
away nicely, and it just quit. Don't ya think it's a blown fuse?"
I replied, "Yep; sure hope that's all it is." 'Hobbled out to car
thinking 30 amp blower fuse had blown. Loosened the two mounting
screws thinking the fuse would fall apart as I removed it, but it
did not. Checked fuses in fuse box; 'found #7 (for compressor and
coupla other things) blown. Because of my shaky hands, called SWMBO
to help me put blower fuse back in place and R&R #7. A/C blowing
ice cold again.
BTW, I did NOT change ALL the fuses. ;<)
