Re: [MBZ] Melted fuse body
Buy only ceramic body fuses -- the plastic ones will often soften enough to do what your's did in the higher amperages. Peter
Re: [MBZ] Melted fuse body
Thanks Jim. I will do that. BillR 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!

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.
