Problem #2 (of 3): "G" fuse is blowing with regularity
For reasons unknown, my (16A) "G" fuse blows every 4-6 hours., whether or not I actuate ANY window switches.
When it does, it renders my 2, front windows inoperable (i.e. - they neither will roll up nor down). Even more perplexing is the fact that that I thought the windows were controlled diagonally (front driver + rear passenger / front passenger + rear driver). (*sigh*)^2 Ideas?

Maybe when you did your interior mods, some of the wires in the door pannels got smashed or broken. That might explain the vacuum problem in your other problem.

Circuit G is "Power Windows Front"
Circuit H is "Power Windows Rear" Both are 25-amps. From this description I don't think the circuit is diaganol as you first thought. Either you have a short inside the door or center-console switch, OR the power-window motors are overworked (usually the grease inside the motor gets old and hard- time for a new motor). :-) neil 1988 360TE AMG 1993 500E

Neil,
Are you certain the "G" and "H" circuits are 25A?
The "G" fuse I have been running/blowing at the moment is 16A... and I do not wish to risk putting in a bigger (25A) fuse, as it may overload the wiring and cause a fire! Please confirm that the fuse-box lid cover insert indicates "G" and "H" = 25A. Thank you,

same problem on my 300E
As soon as I turn the ignition key on, the 25 amp fuse in G pops ....... both front windows are inoperable because the fuse in G has popped ......
I don't think its the switches .......

problem resolved
I feel like such an IDIOT; I had a 16A fuse in the "G" socket,
and I kept replacing it with 16A fuses!!! Surprisingly, it has worked for YEARS until it started popping!  Thanks, everyone! 2 down, 1 to go... Last edited by run.exe; 07-10-2003 at 09:30 PM.
