Hello there My k40 seems to keep blowing a 15 amp fuse on my 230 clk 1998 convertible, when it the bas light comes on and sometimes the abs light comes on with it, if I change the fuse and and plug my scanner in to clear the faults sometime it will not come up again for weeks of driving the car, but the other day i was parked in the car with engine running and and after about an 45mins the bas and abs light came on when i switched of the car and started it again the abs light went out but the bas light stayed on, the car drove sluggish, but when i checked the fuse on the k40 reley it had blown again the fuse that blown is the third fuse along which is a 15amp fuse, before that is a 20amp fuse and then the first fuse is a 15amp fuse also, also so every time the fuse blows it seems to bring up the same 5 error codes, could anyone give me any ideas as to what the problem maybe ...?
