Mercedes/fuse location for cigar lighter
Advertisement
Question
I have a 1975 Mercedes 450SL, 50K miles, and live near Tucson Arizona. I plugged my phone charger into the cigar lighter, and blew the fuse. I have located the fuse box, but there is not a diagram listing which fuse is for what. Can you help me locate where in the fuse box is the fuse designated for the cigar lighter? I am quite some distance from the nearest Mercedes dealer.
Thank you
