Fuse question

[David Langsam]

I need to replace the fuse for the central locking system on my '88 560sl (fuse #11) The cover plate doesn't list a rating and I'm wondering if anybody knows. It should be eith 8 or 16 amps (white or red). Right now I have a blue one in there, does anyone know what the blue fuses are rated at? Thanks for any help.

it is definately not the blue one!!
i believe it is 8amp, that is a good place to start just to be safe.

David, According to the factory diagram on the inside fuse cover in my 88 560SL, Fuse # 11 is 8amp white.

I found out the blue fuse is 25A, so I'll change that out. Funny, I have an '88 as well and the diagram on the inside of the fuse cover has no rating for fuse #11. I attached a photo. I wonder why mine is different. Anyway, I'll go with 8 amps.

David, my diagram is similar, but there is a "square" symbol under the 11 on mine, which codes out to 8amp. I can't make it out on your diagram. Anyway, white's the fuse to use!
