The fuse box is either under the hood or underneath the steeringwheel. Look for a panel that pulls off.Electrical fuse help?
Probably in the engine compartment on the drivers side, but you should confirm if you have the owners manual. The fuses are the European type with a ceramic holder and are not glass like the American typeElectrical fuse help?
Usually on Mercedes of that age the general fuse box is in the engine compartment (under the hood). It is a long black plastic covered rectangular box just behind the battery. But it might be just in front of the brake fluid compartment. I can't tell for your specfic model... Sorry. In any case all fuses are in the engine compartment on those model years. On electronic injection and other models there could be more than one fuse box.Electrical fuse help?
