Hello togheter,

I'm having a weird situation on my 1986 300GD. The fuse 1 blew. I replace it and as soon as I turn on the presence light the brake light came on. With the open circuit on the fusebox the brake light is working fine but as soon as I connect the fuse it light up togheter with the presence light.
During a small trip with lights on the last fuse also blew and the diesel, temp gauges and turn lights became off. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you in advance for your support. Regards.

Hi,

you are not a full member so cannot get to the docs and wiring diagrams in the members sections, so here they are.

You need to see what the Fuse 1 is covering, and find the ground or short circuit there.  It sounds like it could be in the wiring loom, behind the dash, rubbing through onto metal.  Just a wild guess at this point.

(can you see the attached files?)

I made you a temp Member!
