I'm fitting a Tracker to my C205 and want to make the install as OEM as possible for obvious reasons. I want to use the fuse box in the dash on the drivers side and can see that the fuse holders that are in there look 'plug n play'. What I mean is the blanks only seem to have one connector and the ones with fuses in look like the second connector is an add-on bit that will allow a fuse to be used.

Now my question is can I get one of these adapters/connectors to turn a blank in to a valid fuse holder?

TIA

DSC04622.JPG As above, but crimp a 5mm male spade lug onto the end of the feed wire and plug it into an appropriate live socket in your fusebox, the one in the picture is a fusebox in my engine compartment, the 5mm lug is exactly the same dims of the fuse spades.

God, I love this forum. You guys rock!

EmilysDad - That is exactly what I'm looking for. I've already tested the box and one site is live, the other is switched. :D

Tony Dyson - Your solution was my first thought, but then there are no other wires coming out the front of my fuse box, so I thought that it might have been be a bit of a giveaway.
