I'd check the engine fan to be sure it turns freely. I think it is
one of the highest energy consumers in that list
I removed the fuse placard and carefully cleaned away the soot and
scorching as best I can. I have deciphered the fuse #7 list to
read: backup lamp, heating water valve, water pump, engine fan,
heating system for washer jets, climate control system, relay aux
fan term. 86, auto. trans. electrics, blower motor inside temp.
sensor, air cond. compressor. (I filled in several obscured words
with imagination and/or what I vaguely remember. Can somebody
please verify it for me?)

#7 fuse has blown couple more times. The placard inside the fuse
box cover is scorched, obscuring the list of systems in addition to
compressor on that fuse, and I can't open the pdf file showing such
as I have many times before. Can somebody, please, send me a photo
of the placard or the appropriate pdf showing those items on fuse
#7 for '87 300D?

Subject: [MBZ] Blown fuse
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. ;<)
