[W126 Coupe] Semi- New 560 SEC Owner- new problem

[MS. J]

Thanks Paul, I looked at it now I am trying to figure out how to get this box open.  I don't want to break it.       But now I am having starting problems.  I have been having cold start problems, usually the first start in the mornings. It will take approx 2 or 3 tries and the car will turn over after I give it gas, and I can hear that vent open and close..  This morning I just got a clunk, no turning of the starter, but the radio, horn and other electricals work.  So I am going to charge the battery to see if maybe I need a new one, I had a similar problems with the diesel and it turned out that the altenator was giving out, but this time there was no signs of dimming  liights.  If it is the starter not sure where that is located on the 560.  How much do they usally run? Is it difficult to replace.  Not sure if it could be fuel blockage but since it just clunked, may not be fuel related.      Anyone?  I am going to have to buy one this weekend.     Crystal      From: Paul

  Welcome, Crystal! 
  Others will have more comments, but I wanted to walk you through a 
real quick check of a simple fix which *may* be your problem here -->

  There is a fuse that is not in the fuse box which stopped my blower a 
couple years back. It's not a fuse like your other fuses; it's a 
strip of metal with screws holding it at its contact points. It is 
hidden/protected under a plastic cover (looks like a little box.) 
  Open the hood and stand on the driver's side by the fuse box and look 
past the fuse box. You will note that the engine compartment has an 
interior "wall" that separates it from the space where the fuse box 
is. On the side of that wall (the side facing you) very near the top 
is this little box with the strip of metal hidden beneath it. I 
don't remember whether the box is attached with screws or a plastic 
tab of some kind. It's only about two inches long (horizontally) by 
about 3/4" high (by memory.) 
  Remove that cover and you'll see the fuse. If that metal strip is 
broken, you may have a very inexpensive fix. 
  Good luck.
