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

[Axel Wulff]

Sean,

I don't know what is wrong with the lid on your fuse box. Mine comes off 
without a hitch.

Anyway, do yourself a favor a replace all you old aluminium fuses with 
copper tipped ones. You can find them on ebay, or contact Jonathan.
