Hello everyone, firstly thank you for adding me to your club. As a new member, and new owner of a 2000 CL500, I was hoping my first post would be a more pleasant one.
I have a problem with my central locking (I think). Every time I operate one the buttons on either of the keys, the 20A fuse for the PSE pump blows. This didn’t happen when I looked at the car, but typically started the minute I got it home. I replaced the fuse, and all the other functions that are operated by the PSE pump work fine, rear headrests, lumbar support, soft close doors and boot without blowing the fuse.
I believe the car had been left stood for a couple of years before I bought it, and have since read that this can cause electrical issues.
My question is, has anyone else had this issue? I would really appreciate a little advice before pulling the car apart in a desperate attempt to find the problem. Is there a logical order of where to start looking, and inspect/repair any potentially failed parts? Thank you in advance, Nigel.
