1999 C280 Sport - BAS/ASR & Check Engine light
I was driving my C280 and noticed that the BAS/ASR light had come on. I shut the car off and started it back up again and noticed that the Check Engine light was now on. I ran a scan on it and retrieved about 10 codes. I wrote the codes down but forgot them at work. One code description i do remember is one that has to do with the K40 module. I removed the cover on the passenger side fuse panel and noticed that there was a 15 amp fuse blown. I replaced the fuse and the BAS/ASR light was out. So I cleared the codes and drove it for about 12 miles and the light came on again. Once again the fuse was blown. What's going on? Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
P.S-the codes that were pulled from the car had to do with the O2 sensors, air pump switching valve, and charcoal canister.

I don't know about your particular problem but, in general, a repetitive blowing fuse indicates a fault in an electrical circuit. The fuse is blowing because of an excessive current drain. Since the fuse is there to protect devices on the circuit or to prevent overheating which could result in a fire, I would get it checked out as soon as possible.
