This No. 117 looks like a good choice?
No. 117 15Amps. Its Acc. ign. Switched being for the rear cigar lighter. And I only need a very low ampage 12V 5A, so well under the 15A rating. Its even got a space on one side ref the piggy back fuse wont even overhang another fuse.
Checked its function
And what it does, namely No. 117 Cigar lighter, rear
Seems ideal, other than the CL500 [which shares the same fuse diagram with the S Class saloon] has NO rear cigar lighter!
Q. Is it safe to assume that there really is the wiring behind this fuse socket to support 15A?
Is it normal they would put a fuse in an unused circuit? [it seems to be the only component it supports].
The other natural option, is the Power socket in the boot No. 134 15A. But this is a funny fuse hanging off the edge, and has a retaining lug on the top, that impedes the piggy back fuse wiring thingy.
