so far,ive blown a 25,,20,,, 15 and three 10,,,,fuses between 2 brand new ovp's. battery @ cold before start,12.3,,,with all sorta doo-dads on and after warming volts never really exceed 14.5 or so,,max once was 14.8.......volts seem to go down as i turn on more electrical stuff.never below 14 though until i turn off,then goes down in stages to 12.5-ish. performance nor start issues really,but,no power at throttle microswitch,a/c compressor,,,,the obvious.....but my question really is,,how could i blow a 25 and not seem to have other issues that havent destroyed the car yet ?? im thinking alternator ??? an snapshot of someone elses battery compartment on an 190e 84-88 would be great,plastic cover removed of course............any ideas would be great !
