Hi
I have a Mercedes 350sl r107 and it has been running beautifully. I changed the bulb on the gearbox and managed to short something while cleaning the bulb holder with a small screwdriver, stupid I know
I don't know if this is coincidence but since I can't get the car to start, it turns over and sounds as if it will catch but then just keeps turning over.
I have looked at the fuses, the second one in has blown, but the diagram on the fuse lid is missing so not sure what this is for?
I really can't believe the short on a bulb has caused this but wondered if anyone has any ideas where to look, I have read about fusible leads, I have an inline fuse on the the lead coming from the battery, but this looks ok
Sorry to go but would really appreciate some pointers,
Cheers
Simon
