[W126 Coupe] 1991 560 SEC Seat Belt Retractors - Blown Fuse

[Sean Ashworth]

I hope this helps someone if they have problems with the seat belt retractors. First the fuse box is located on the driver's side. At first I had problems getting it off; the trick is that after you undo the latch there is a small hook like thing under the box. You just have to stick your finger and release it. Once you've done that you're in. The back of the fuse box is numbered and shows all the fuses' relationships. I gleaned number 15 from the archives and confirmed it on the fuse box. Sure enough the fuse was broken and since it was too late to go and get a new one, I simply stole another white one from the fog lights. I put the cover back on and tested the seat belt retractors - sure enough they worked! I honestly thought it was going to cost me a mint to fix. As a general comment - many of the fuses look old and might ended up replacing them at some point,
