Hot side of the fuse: If you remove the fuse, one of the two terminals will be "hot" with 12v DC. In order to be hot, usually some switch like the ignition switch needs to be turned on, but some fuses and circuits are not switched and always have power, like the headlights and the courtesy light, sometimes the radio.
#9 is probably hot all the time. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jul 23, 2018 at 7:12 AM, Larry Turner via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > I'm still confused by Peter's comment about testing and the "Hot Side of > the Fuse".
