[W126 Coupe] 1983: 380 SEC sometimes stalls when engaging in D

[Kivendren Moodliyar]

Could a fuse next to the water reservoir result in the car stalling, cos
this fuse is broken. Its not in the fuse box its in its own small
compartment about the size of ones pinky finger

Before replacing, you might test them for leakage. 
Spray em with carb cleaner or the like with the engine running......   
idle change = vacuum leak.
