[W126 Coupe] Thanks for the diagram

[Dan Landiss]

You can send me any questions and I will try to answer them. The wire 
colors should be abbreviated, next to each wire. The numbers are an 
approximate millimeter diameter. "C" numbers are connectors.

Note that the right and left sides have separate fuses and separate 
grounds. The ground wires are almost always brown on MBZ. If you 
happened to ground a white wire (like you might in household circuits) 
you blew a fuse.

The wiring diagram style used in auto manuals is a hybrid between 
conventional electronic schematics and pictorial assembly drawings. It's 
not too bad after you get used to it.
