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, >
