Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / October 2007Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger on my '79 300D has stopped working. Before I start replacing components, what are the most common causes of these failing, and where best to start? Thanks in advance... The 99.9% failure is the strip fuse in the fuse holder by the top of the drivers front shock..... > The rear window defogger on my '79 300D has stopped working.

Thank you very much. This sounds like a quick fix for a change, and I appreciate the help.

Is that a glass fuse inside the square box on top of the wheel well, or is it a fuse inside the fusebox on the firewall aft of the wheelwell? It should be a 30 amp strip fuse in the holder. Here is what a strip fuse looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aufevervw/1510376195/ > On Oct 7, 8:53 am, "randallbr...@mac.com" <randallbr...@gmail.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > or is it a fuse inside the fusebox on the firewall aft of the > wheelwell? > It should be a 30 amp strip fuse in the holder.

Hmm. Well, I didn't see anything in the fusebox that looked like that, but then again, I didn't know what I was looking for. I only saw the typical colored white and red fuses. I will analyze this again in the morning. Thank you--this is most helpful, as I would never have know what to look for otherwise.

I checked again, and the only thing near the top of the wheel well, driver's side, is a square plastic box, with two large relays inside, and a plastic in-line fuseholder with a very small red and while glass fuse inside. No strip fuse(s). Also, there are no strip fuses in the fuse box on the driver's-side firewall. I am at a loss as to where this 80A strip fuse is located on my car. 79 123 body should be fuse #10 in the main fuse box. :) > > Read what I wrote: > > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > fuse box on the driver's-side firewall.
