Hello John M and Gubi
I have a 1990 Graduate. The number 8 fuse keeps blowing when the engine idylls up to 175 degrees (according to the temperature gauge), then the battery light comes on, the engine runs slightly rough for a couple of seconds, the fuse blows, the engine rpm increases for a few seconds, all the instruments in the cluster no longer function. I retrieved the error code from the Motronic ECU which is 1265. What would you recommend I do next? ((By the way, I located the ground wire junction for the cluster instruments (ground from pin D-4 on the cluster to a screw connection behind the driver seat or left rear compartment) and cleaned the connections and put dielectric grease on it); no change in the problem))
Please help me if you can.
Thanks,
Spud
