on the 126 cars the strip fuse did not arrive by the factory until 86 with the 420,300 and 560.it was offered as a modification part by benz to basically remove fuse 11 out of fuse box because conns in fuse box would not carry the heavy load and would melt the conns into the fuse box.you will need to undo the screws and lift up the guts of the fuse box and examine the wires leading to fuse 11 to see if they are intact.if they are you will need to trace wiring for hot side of fuse back towards terminal 15 on the ignition switch because one side of that fuse should be alive with the key on.
