Battery Drain / Bad Ground? or Wire Short?
Have a 1992 190e 2.6 and it runs good, but I have a possible loose ground wire or short in the system. I think the items that use fuse 13 might be the issue or I may have a loose ground wire somewhere.
Would like to know if any other 190e owners have had this issue and can help me locate the ground connections to rule them out. I have a new battery and the Alternator is working great. Have a drain on the battery.
The only fuse that seems to be where the short is was #13. This services several things like Clock, Radio, Antena, Lamps, ect.
Please provide advise - 1Fisherman

Looks like its my alternator has gone bad. Bought a Voltage and Amp tester and battery is good, but alternator is not putting out. In the past I had put a new Voltage Reg on the alternator and it worked great. Its now time to get a new alternator. Phil
