Missing relay or fuse for 190e? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I was just looking over the engine of my 1986 190e 2.3, when I noticed that my fuse box seems to be missing a fuse...... well, it's a little bigger then a fuse. It looks like some kind of outlet for a relay of some sort. I will try to include a picture of the missing fuse eventually. I think it is the overvoltage protection relay, if my haynes auto repair manual is correct? Is this vital to the operation of may car? If it is, I am going to kill the guy I bought the car from.

Thanks in advance

Pete: Hard to tell without a picture. Your owners manual may show a diagram of what's what in the fusebox.
It's not the OVP though, that's behind the plastic panel behind the battery.

According to the wiring diagrams in my 201 disc, that one is "not used", so your fusebox is correct.
