Will list components powered thru the 2 fuses that had measurable readings. Those readings are listed above. Info obtained from data card inside fuse box cover(underhood).

Fuse # 2
diagnostic terminal #6
hazard warning system
clock
front roof light
elect. radio(now an after-market unit)
vanity mirror light
elect. illumination control

fuse #15
roof light rear
trunk light(always cool to the touch whenever trunk is opened)
safety belt handover arm
switch over valves seat back arrester(posts at this forum indicate this is found on an SEC - I have '91 300-SEL)
central locking system(car also equipped with after-market alarm-Clifford-at least 15 yrs old alarm).
door lights
reading lamp-rear area
automatic antenna
control unit seat adjustment memory

With fuses #2 and #15 removed - car starts - so I suppose the Cliffored alarm is not tapped in thru either of these.

Digging thru archives - I see that audio equipment in trunk is interfaced electrically with automatic antenna. In the trunk I have an after-market amp(power booster) and cd player. Have disconnected both of these and still see huge vascillating draw on fuse #2.

Need to disconnect automatic antenna motor and see what things look like after that.

It's Monday A.M - back to work - may be a day or two before I can return to this issue. Will update thread when/if I know more.

Regards.
