2007 MERCEDES-BENZ ML320CDI fuse

522 Practical hintsFusesThe electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to
switch off malfunctioning power circuits.
If a fuse is blown, the components and sys-
tems secured by that fuse will stop operat-
ing.If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have
the cause determined and rectified by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
The following aids are available to help you
replace fuses. They are included with the
vehicle tool kit (
page 469):


Fuse chart
The fuse chart explains the fuse alloca-
tion and fuse amperages.


Spare fuses


Fuse extractor
The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:


Fuse box in engine compartment
(page 523)


Fuse box in cargo compartment
(page 523)


Fuse box in passenger compartment
(page 524)Before replacing fuses:

Apply parking brake (
page 65).

Make sure the automatic transmission
is set toP (
page 187).
The gear position indicator in the multi-
function display should be on
P.

Turn off all electrical consumers.

page 40).

Remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*:
Open the driver’s door (this puts
the starter switch in position0,
same as with the SmartKey re-
moved from the starter switch). The
driver’s door then can be closed
again.
Warning!
G
Only use fuses approved by Mercedes-Benz
with the specified amperage for the system
in question and do not attempt to repair or
bridge a blown fuse. Using other than ap-
proved fuses or using repaired or bridged
fuses may cause an overload leading to a
fire, and/or cause damage to electrical
components and/or systems. Have the
cause determined and remedied by an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.i
A blown fuse must be replaced by an appro-
priate spare fuse (recognizable by its color or the
fuse rating given on the fuse) of the amperage
recommended in the fuse chart. Any
Mercedes-Light Truck Center will be glad to
advise you on this subject.
