My car is a 1999 S500L.
In the past I have had an electrical problem that draws power, and the battery is empty over night. It draws approximately 1.3 A. I think I have found the error. When I removed fuse # 60 in the fuse box under the rear seat, the power consumption is normal.
But I can not find fuse # 60 in the fuse chart. What is # 60 connected to?
Anyone knows?
I have removed the fuse, and I don't think that I have lost any functions.
Thanks for any advice.

Fuse charts are different depending on years and models.
On my chart (A 000545 16 00) f60 is not listed for any application.
On the map it does have a vacant space in the box, Amperage unspecified, and I have no fuse at the indicated place.

If you found you have everything operational without it, remove it from the fuse box and keep it in your curios. Especially if your chart does not list it either.

Yes, I have removed the fuse, and the car is still running, and all the
main switches and knobs are all working.
I know I can dismantle the fuse box and follow the wires from the fuse # 60, but it is too much work. It is strange that those who have connected the fuse has not marked it with what it is connected to.it is 25A fuse
On the 2005 models, the fuse #60 is connected to Antenna booster, and to Electronic toll collection.
My car has neither

It is not unusual for an owner to feel that there should just not be an empty fuse slot, and so fill it, with no regard for actual function. Sounds as if your PO (Previous Owner) was one of those.

Wally,
Yes, it may be a joker with recreational problems who owned the car before me

I thought the fuse #60 was the cause of the power drain, but that was not true. Now I'm nearly 100% sure it is the door seat and heat switch control unit. I found that the switch was damp at the back, and when I disconnected the switch, the power drain dropped to nearly zero Amp.
I must find a way to prevent water to get into the switch.
