Fuses

Three boxes. One of them is why the radio is dark.

Photograph the card in your lid — numbering drifted, and lettered slots A–F are named on that card, not always on the plastic. Maps below are the common 1992–1998 R129 layout. Radio is fuse 9 plus letter A, not a 16 A red named B.

Right window lift

Right door glass. Same Hall-sensor warning as the left: a window that is not normalised will abort the convertible-top routine.

Where
Boot, passenger side (right on LHD), behind the carpet near the lid hinge. Often under a metal cover with several 8 mm nuts. Early cars use aluminium ‘bullet’ fuses; later cars mix blade fuses.
How to open
Peel the side carpet, undo the metal cover, and read the card on the back of it. These are the first fuses to pull for roof, windows, roll bar, and PSE / central locking.
Notes
Roof won’t move? Start here — fuse 3 (soft-top control and valves) and the 30 A hydraulic-pump fuse. Left window dead? Fuse 1. Right window? Fuse 2. Roll bar? Fuse 4.
