Why JBoss Fuse is a best ESB?

Why did the fuse receptacle for my blower fan melt in my 190E 2.6?

  • Ok I bought a 190E a year and a few months ago, and only when I got around to trying the HVAC controls inside the car did I notice nothing was going so I read up on it and checked and there was a fuse missing from the wiring harness for the blower fan, which does it all, the A/C, the vent, and the front heater and defrost. I get some appropriate fuses at Napa and then it all worked fine for many months, until the fuse blew, oh well a box of them costs well under $5 and that is cheaper than a mechanic ripping the car apart to see what the matter is. So on I went, popping in a new fuse every couple of months or so when the last one blew until about a few months ago when the fuse holder made itself so melted and corroded that the fresh fuse couldn't complete the circuit. Since then I have been getting by with letting the manual pressure of the air as I drive blow fresh air into the car, but as the weather gets bad out here again, I am definitely going to need my defrost and heater back soon enough. I am sure when I get the time I can replace that fuse holder DIY but what makes it do this in the first place?

  • Answer:

    I would try replacing the fuse holder first. Make sure your connections are clean and tight. Install the correct amperage fuse.Then try your ac and if you have an amp meter put it on the circuit. If not feel to see if wire is getting hot. Good Luck.

There is a short in your electrical system. It maybe a loose wire or a blown wire causing the short. You have to look at it to correct the problem. Dnt have to ignore it because other fuse might be affected.

yes it is easy enough to replace the fuse holder but first you must find out what caused the fuses to blow and then to melt the holder there must be a short in the system and not fixed the rest of the wiring loom could short out and cause bigger problems take the car to an auto electrician rather than a dealer for an estimate and repair much cheaper and probably faster
