Climbed into the '77 300D last night after having eaten mounds of Chinese chow (delardassification project starts today) and, when I switched on the headlights, there were no dash lights, no right tail light, and no license plate lights. Looked in the fuse block this mornng and saw the #1 fuse blown. I replaced it, switched on the lights, and it popped instantly. So, fellers, is there a time honored offender when this circuit pops its fuse or do I just need to start hunting? Bob, My guess is one of the bulbs in back that has two filaments in it has shorted internally. This would be a running light that lights up brighter when the brakes are touched, Does the fuse blow if you don't step on the brakes?
