This is exactly what happensed to me.  The wire was exposed upstream of the
antenna motor, and would occasionally ground out.  This was in the trunk
along the drivers side.  Fortunately turned out to be an easy diagnosis and
fix.

 somewhere.

The dome light system and clock share this fuse.  Try one of those!

Thank you Fred.  Your insight was invaluable in hunting down the fault 
in the horn.  I was able to fix it with a $5 part.  A PnP steering wheel

Hi, All.
	After almost 30 years my memory ain't so hot, though I do remember the 
horn ring as having a shoulder screw upon which were a wavy washer, a flat 
washer and a small insulator, like a top hat with no crown (maybe a small 
spring). A fiddley job as I remember. Sorry not to be more specific. 
Perhaps the EPC can give you a breakdown of parts and the relative position 
of the insulators. The 220D was the second MB that I ever owned, the first 
in America, all I could afford after the first wife's lawyer got through 
with me.
