Practical hints Fuses Fuses Introduction The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to switch off malfunctioning power circuits. If a fuse is blown, the components and systems secured by that fuse will stop operating. If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have the cause determined and rectified by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. A fuse chart is located in the trunk with the vehicle tool kit (Y page 252). The fuse chart explains the fuse allocation and fuse amperages. The electrical fuses are located in fuse boxes on the driver's side of the engine compartment, on the passenger side of the engine compartment, under passenger-side rear storage compartment or in the trunk.
