2008 sl 550 Cigar Lighter fuse
Hi All,
I recently bought the car and encountered a couple of electrical issues. First, I was getting the "Convenience Features are Unavailable" warning - that was solved with a new rear battery (old one showed 10 volts after driving for an hour :-( ) the good news is the alternator is putting out 13.8 V and with the new battery, I've had no issues. While sorting this, I discovered that when the car is in the "Convenience Features Unavailable" mode, the cigar lighter doesn't work. I also found that someone had blown the fuse. That fuse is located in the front, driver's side fuse box. Counting FORWARD from the windshield, it is in the SIXTH position and is a 15 amp fuse.
I also purchased one of those converter "pods" so that my iphone 10 will pair with the car so I can use the phone related functions - it DOES NOT let you play Pandora or whatever through it...
Other than those issues, it's a pretty cool car. I also have an S2000...it's pretty cool for other reasons :-)
