Radio power wire
« on: May 30, 2019, 20:02:17 »
I dont see radio on the fuse box. Is there a specific fuse to get power to radio and which fuse did it come from...I'm working on a 250SL

Michael, i used  the small double fuse box on the passenger side
right by the radiator over flow tank,it is a hot  fuse ,even with ignition of,
as i like to use my radio with out turning ignition key,im not sure  if you have 280SL perhaps
it is different,look at bottom of photo, just see it. regards Wayne.

As stipulated in the post under the link Hans shared - you may have two wires in the harness - one for radio (powered when you turn the ignition key to accessory position or first position) and one for antenna - powered permanently.

They go to fuse box (link to supply in the post Hans provided link to) and through grommet in the firewall - to behind the dash.
