I have a 1983 Mercedes 300D Turbo. It has 205K miles and has been blowing fuses. Does anybody know what could be causing this? The fuses being blown are the 8 amp ones.

Thanks!

I sent you a private message.
There is alot of 8 amp fuses and you did not mention any specific problem so I can only give you a generic answer.
A good place to start with any electrical problem is to see how much voltage your charging system is putting out.
If the charging voltage is normal you have some sort of short circuit or overloading going on in the circuits where there fuses are burning.
You are going to have to look at your fuse chart and identify which circuits are the ones causing the problem and troubleshoot each of the problem circuits.
