S430 Electrical Problems?

[julie-ann]

Hi
Can anyone offer any advise, I have an S430 2000, which keeps popping fuses on the central locking and soft close.

I have changed the fuse from 20 amps to 25amps ??? but it still keeps blowing, have taken it to my local (none dealer) Mercedes specialist who do not seem to be able to help.

Any ideas?

ALRIGHT,SOUNDS LIKE THE NORMAL PROBLEM OF THE BOOT FLAP/TONGUE(THE ONE THAT FOLDS IN AND OUT,AND KEEPS YOUR HANDS FROM GETTING DIRTY WHEN SHUTTING THE BOOT)HAS YOU EVER FOUND THE TONGUE OUT AND NOT FOLDING BACK IN? WHAT HAPPENS WATER GETS INTO THE SWITCH,WHICH THEN KEEPS THE CENTRAL LOCKING PUMP RUNNING UNTIL THE FUSE BLOWS. HOPE THIS HELPS.IF IT IS THIS I THINK I MAY HAVE ONE.
