So in figuring out my power window set up in my 1988 240. I already knew that i had the fuse 10 for the power windows not being used. Thats great. Now I discovered that I need a fuse space for a power window relay. It only needs 8 amps so if I find a 16 amp fuse I will just use a fuse terminal with an 8. The problem is that there is an aftermarket power sunroof in the car that is pluged into the location for the relay. I was thinking that I could just find another fuse but I'm not shure which one. Number 13 was initially suggested, but since it controls seatb elt reminder lights, heated front seats, and fuel injections system, I would be afraid of blowing the fuse and possible stalling in traffic because of disabling the fuel injection system. What do I know though? Since I have the m47 5speed manual transmission could I use fuse 11 since that fuse is for the autotransmission fourth gear and rear defrost? Or is the combonation of rear defrost and power window relays exceed 16 amps. What Would you do. It just has to be a switched fuse.
Thanks and happy bricking.....When I get this all done I will write everything up with step by step instructions for this conversion.
