This thread reinforces my very low opinion of MBZ 'infamous' electrical system quality--almost as bad as that legendary 'Prince of Darkness--LUCAS in the 80's.

Most of MBZ 'technology for fuses and electrcail connections seems to have been firmly STUCK in the pre WW II phase of technology. Look at a early 90's Japanese or even US car and you find compact, no corrosion fuses, O-ring sealed water tight gold plated electrical connectors, etc. MBZ--cheap solder covered 1930's bayonet plugs, etc.
