Re: [MBZ] Fuses
Up in Canada, we can get them at Canadian Tire for next to nothing. I put a spot of dielectric grease on the tips on my other car, to prevent them from sticking, and just change them every 4-5 years or so and keep some of the old in the trunk as spares.

Re: [MBZ] Fuses -----
They aren't on the same fuse - but I did replace the fuse for the EDS, since I replaced all of them. I didn't notice that one being bad, but it sure runs better with all new fuses - and my pistons aren't melting!

Re: [MBZ] Fuses -----
For those of you in Canada, you can usually find all the different sizes real cheap in Canadian Tire. I do them on my porsche as Larry says. I also put a dab of dielectric grease on the ends of each and give them a spin ffrom time to time. I've never had a fuse, connection, or ground related problem with that car yet, and it's an '80.

Re: [MBZ] Fuses in a 115? and A/C ?
I seem to have solved a couple of my recent questions. The fuse that was blowing was the wrong size. It was a white one so 8A and should have been a red one 16A. It turns out to be the fuse for the auxiliary fan so that now works. Still some stuff to figure out but I am happy that turned out to be so easy.

It was a white one so 8A ... for the auxiliary fan. Yeah, no way an 8A was right for that. -- Jim
