Ml320 W163 2001 fuse F41 recirculation pump, e-box fan...
Hey guys,
Does anybody have a clue why my fuse F41 10A recirculation pump, heater/E-box fan keeps on blowing?
And where is the E-box fan situated?
Cheers, Den

The Coolant Cir. Pump is located in the area below the battery and is controlled by relay #19 and fuse #41
With the, key off and with a new 10 amp fuse in place, remove the elec. connector at the bottom of the pump. Turn the key to the on position and with a DVOM, check the WHITE wire for 12v and the BROWN wire for NEGATIVE.
If both wires check out, reinstall the connector and then check fuse #41 and see if it is blown. If so, the pump is shorted and must be replaced.

I checked the wires, they are good (12V and negative). Reinstalled the connector, checked the fuse and it was not blown. Started the car, checked fuse again and it's still not blown. I didn't drive with it yet, but I bet it would blow again...

Cool !
And the fact of only starting up the engin doesn't blow the fuse. What could it be then that it blows when driving? The E-box that starts up at one point and is fawlty? Because the heater works...

The e-box fan and the Cir. Pump are on the same circuit. See my next post for instructions.
Does your A/C controls look like this?

No, miner's more simple then that. Just a push button for the A/C. It's a 2001 model. I'm at work now, can't make a pic and attach it. I can do it later on if you want. I hope the 2001 year helps for now...
(The pic that I send before in this thread says that that fuse is for recirculation pump, heater and E-box fan)

OK,I failed to read the diag. correctly. Both the ebox fan and and the Cir. Pump run on the same circuit.
Remove both covers to the fuse box and then the 3 additional screws. Then pull up the fuse/relay module out of the box.
Locate the e-Box fan at the bottom, turn the key to the on position and with your hand feel to see if it is running.

If it's this black part with numbers 29 and 088 written in white on it which is hidden underneath the 2nd cover of the fusebox, then it doesn't seem to work by putting the key to on position, nor when I start the car. The fuse 10A is still ok so far...

That fan is supposed to run as soon as you turn the key on.
While the key is still on, remove the two wire connector and check the WHITE wire for 12v and the BROWN wire for ground.

Ok, I checked the 2 wires. White is 12V and brown is grounded. The fuse is still ok.
When the e-box fan is on, does it make a significant sound and/or wind that blows. If it's supposed to, then it doesn't work

I felt underneath the fuse/relay box, where the tube with 3 holes of the fan ends, and I did feel ventilation, but it was extremely little...almost like nearly no wind... I hope that's the way it should be...

The fan is supposed to rotate at 4,500 RPMs. It might be tired and needs replacing.

I took out the fan and it worked actually, cleaned it up a bit as it was slightly dusty, nothing bad. Plugged it back in and when it was upside down it worked a lot better as in its original position. Also it kept on blowing after taking out the key of the contact, maybe a security to cool down after haven driven the truck?
But all seems to work better now. Big thumbs up and thank you (again) Maj. Dundee...!
