Re: [MBZ] Blown fuse
ATTABOY and ATTAGIRL!

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?

Re: [MBZ] Blown fuse
I long ago upped the fuse rating on my 123 blower circuit. On Tue, Jul 14, 2015 at 8:04 PM, fmiser via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Curly wrote: ATTABOY and ATTAGIRL! I'll echo that! 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. A bit of grease on the ends of the fuses helps too. *smiles* ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Used to work great so I am thinking it has to be the sensor and NOT the PU unit that screws into the tach chassis housing. Maybe I should just swap out the cluster gauge for one of my many spare used units? used to work great doesn't exonerate any of the components.
