190E questions about radio fuse and headlight rims

[slamminmadden]

I have a 1987 190E 2.3 Benz. My radio fuse continues to burn out at least once a week. I am not doing anything unusual with connections. What going on here?

I also purchased brand new headlight rims. Any installation tips or isn't pretty much a simple and standard job.

Any advice is well appreciated. Thanks

Starting with the radio, it could be a number of things, but i wouldnt continue to use it until the problem is sorted.

Check all the radio wiring, are all the connections sounds, with no loose wires hanging. Have you got the right rated fuse?, do you use an amp or overly high wattage speakers?

If none of the above apply it may be a fault with the radio...you can pick up a new one pretty cheap nowadays.

And im not sure what you mean by headlight rims? do you mean the headlight lenses?
