Yes, I don't think these go through any fuse. Last night I confirmed that I am getting inadequite voltage from the alt, so it must be the 4 strand wire to the alt/VR./Starter in the schematic micalk generously provided (THANKS!!!), my FSM is unreadable.
I read another post where someone had some melting there and lost alt recharging, so I am heading to the dealer to get a starter/alt wiring harness and new connector, and will see if it melts again.
Hopefully this is just due to the poor thermal shielding I have read MB used until the mid-90's on these harnesses. Once it meltede a bit, it started shorting and got hotter and hotter and melted more and more....at least that is what I am hoping.
Will report back once I get the new harness in place!
thanks again everyone!
