I have a 1992 300 SL. I am trying to locate the fuse that controlls the air conditioner. I was looking at the fuse box and I could not find it.

Where are the circuts that controll this. There seems to be no power going to the air conditioner unit

Are you aware there are 2 fuse boxes ? which one did you look at ?

When facing the engine I was looking at the fuse box located on the back right corrner. I was a black box with a metal clip holding down the front cover.

Where are the 2 fuse boxes located. I only discovered 1

There is one in the trunk, but the A/C fuse is in the one up front, the one you've looked at.
Can't tell you the Fuse # as you have a '92 and I have a '98 and they could be different (mine is #17), but there should be a fuse chart in the lid of the box.

Ok let me check the fuse chart.

Also can I tell if the fuse is good or bad. I noticed that the fuses are not the car fuses I am familiar with. I noticed the fuses are small and tube rod shape.

You have the old style fuses. if they are (still) the OEM aluminum fuses, should change them ALL to copper ones.

How do I replace my old style fuses

 

[RKH]

You can't change to new style fuses without major re-wiring to replace the whole fuse box. All you can do is to replace the aluminum one with copper ones of the same size, shape and Amperage.
