So my wife wants to power her phone from a cig plug charger in the 2012
ML. There is a ciggy lighter in the front console, and the manual shows
either/both a 12V socket there, but hers only has the ciggy lighter. I
try to get the lighter out, push it down, nothing happens. So I pry it
out, put in the charger, no juice.
So I pop the hood, find the fuse box and there are only a few small
fuses in there and some relays and a 50A or 2 and no chart of anything.
WTF? So then I download the manual (she does not leave it in the car
for some reason) and it shows there are 3 (!!!) fuse boxes scattered
around the car, one in the side of the dash by the pass door and another
under the back seat. I try to find the one by the door, there is none
there. WTF??? So the manual says "The fuse allocation chart is located
under cover" of the rear one. So I open that one up, it has some fuses
in it too, but no chart. WTF???? The 79 TD has a nice printed chart
under the fuse box cover! I had to cut a little tab on the carpet cover
too to get it lifted up, so I guess no one has ever been in that fuse box.
Have the Germans completely lost it? (Or maybe the Alabama assembly
workers?) Neither of the boxes has a fuse chart, how the hell are you
supposed to figure out what fuse might need to be changed? Good news is
the fuses seem to be the newer flat things, I have a ton of those around
but no idea which one to pull.
Off to the tubes to try to find a fuse chart....
