w126 electric problem

[Pfinix]

Hi there,

Today I lost DC power on CD changer, electric aerial and also the boot light ,
I checked all fuses and they are Ok. all components connected to this fuse working fine. They are other fuses which I can check?

Thank you in advance for any help.

The cable that runs to the boot light is worth checking. The insulation can get frayed and cause problems.

Also, the crappy cheaper kind of fuses can cause problems when if they look OK. There can be corrosion and it creates all kinds of odd gremlins.
Well worth buying the brass or copper ones to avoid the dissimilar metal corrosion problems.

Problem solved , yesterday I checked all the cables from CD changer and I found behind the radio fuse folder, inside I found burned 5A glass fuse, aerial CD changer and light working fine now, I replaced glass fuse for 5A copper - just for tests, glass fuse already ordered.

I also highly recommend the brass/copper torpedo fuses, I replaced my in March (whole set)
