Project W210 - Defective Front Headlamps Cables Pt.2




Here are more problem after my last W210 post regards about the headlamp cables.  I thought taping the exposed wires would be the end of my headlamp problem.  And boy was I wrong.

I got so fed-up with blown fuse I literally disassemble the whole headlamps assembly for both sides.  After I opened up the housing I found more disintegrate cables deep inside both housing.  This time I really took my time to tape all exposed wires.  There are several cables per housing and one of the cable has a hidden fuse.


The hidden fuse shown below was connected to one of the cable.  I missed it because It was so thin. The hidden fuse was more than 20 years old and it finally gave up! 

So I went to MR DIY and got this fuse holder and have them wire-up!  The red fuse can be purchased at any hardware or workshop for around BND$1.00.  Fuse holder is BND$3.00


It is a simple task and took me a few minutes to replaced the old fuse with the new one!


I almost gave up on these original headlamps and was planning to buy aftermarket headlamps.  Luckily I took my time to have those lamps properly checked and all these only cost me less then $10.00 to repair or else I would had opted for the aftermarket headlamp which would be costing around $300.00 and above!
