fuse for indicator lights

I have a problem with the alarm of my 1992 SL300 24 because it will leave the right indicator lights (front and back) permanently burning even without contact. This has already completely depleted my battery once. So I thought to take the fuse of the right indicator lights out until I manage to get the alarm fixed.

As I am not that experienced with car repair is there anybody that can give me exact directions to the location of this fuse.

Thanks

The fuse for the lights is #1 in the main fuse box. But if you remove that you'll lose power to other circuits as well.

You could just remove power to the alarm module. It is fuse #5 in the auxiliary fuse box in the trunk (picture).

Before taking out any fuses check the headlight switch!!!
Make sure it is in '0' position,one turn to the left will cause your 'problem'.

Thanks for the good tips. This headlight switch, where is it located? Is it near the headlight and easily recognizable?
