The #10 fuse is blowing on my 1985 300SD. I have unplugged the CCU, monovalve, Temperature gauge, auxiliary water pump and the cabin temperature blower and it is still doing it. Any thoughts on what else might be causing it?
Thanks!

Yes, I have searched using all manner of keywords for items on the #10 fuse but with no luck. I suspect it is something other than the CCU because I unplugged it and the fuse still blows.


Have you tried a search? If not sure how, please re visit the 'Welcome to the Forum' tutorial sticky on top of the W126 page.
I posted a list of available climate control pdf recently.
Cheers

Things going through fuse #10:
starter lockout/back-up light switch, rear lights, overload relief valve, intake manifold pressure switch, kickdown switch, kickdown solenoid, outside temperature gauge and sensor, electronic unit for temperature control, heater air temperature sensor, in-car temperature sensor, compressor kick-down cut-out control unit, compressor cut-out microswitch, auxiliary water pump, auxiliary fan relay, receiver-dryer switch.
Gooood luck!

same problem here, but mine blows as soon as you start driving-was going to individually fuse everything that is powered off that circuit (no fun) but at a loss what else to do

did you find your problem (O.P.) or any further help? :crybaby2:

To solve a problem like this you need an electrical diagram or schematic. Trace out everything that is on that fuse and unplug it. See if it blows when you turn on the key. If it does then it's a worn wire somewhere that is shorting to ground. If it doesn't then you plug thing back in one at a time and check to see if it blows after you plug it back in. It helps a lot if you have someone sitting in the car to turn the key while you plug things back in. And just to be on the safe side jack up the car so the drive wheels are off the ground. When your friend or child turns on the key your life is in their hands.
