European '99 ML430 - No Internal fuse box?

Hi All,

For the life of me i cannot find the internal fuse box on my '99 ML430. I read somewhere that they might not have one? If thats the case then where can i find the fuses that are on this board in the later models? SRS light isn't working and i want to check the fuse before doing anything else, on the models with the internal fuse board its there but where is it if there is no internal fuseboard?? Can any of you fine people shed any light on this? Its definately not in the passenger (Drivers side if U.S) footwell. HELP?!

Internal fuse box did not come in until the 2000 models.

Do you mean the SRS light in the Instrument Cluster?

Hi Major, Thanks for that, i'm not going mad after all!! Yes i do. SRS light in cluster not lighting up at all and i know on the later models its got its own fuse on the internal panel. Is there a separate fuse for it on the older models? Wanted to check this first before diving in and replacing the bulb itself.

Then why did you ask for the fuses that controlled the SRS? I like to help, but this time it was unnecessary.

Until you confirmed it didnt have an internal fuse box i had no idea what i was looking for. Not sure the gruff attitude was warranted as i was only asking for and appreciated your help.
