Fuse panel map - rear washer fluid

sorry if this is covered but I searched a cannot believe these is not in the owners manual. Is there a map of the fuse panel with which number connect to which circuit?

My rear view washer fluid stopped spraying and I was going to check a fuse first.....

In some of the model years (2013 comes to mind), there was a *separate* fuse layout manual.
The primary owner's manual did say that the other booklet existed.
(a pause while i download the 2019 Owner's Manual)

Yes, your book says:
"The fuse allocation chart and further information on the electric fuses and relays can be found in the "Fuse allocation chart" supplement."

BUT ... unlike the 2013, MB doesn't have your fuse supplement available on their download site.

p.s. i see that that Manuals site has made a hash of the fuse supplements for previous years.
The "fuse supplement" links for both 2015 and 2013 merely point to the (fuse-less) Owner's manuals.
The 2013 link used to be valid.

I noticed the same thing about lack of the fuse supplements. This makes in difficult to fix even the simplest basic electrical problems. Does anyone know how to get a copy of fuse supplements?

My Method(tm) .... POUNCE whenever one drifts past ...

2012's is in the Operator's Manual (page 241): View attachment 2012-Mercedes-Benz-Sprinter-Operators-Manual.pdf

Here's 2013's Fuse book: View attachment 2013-Mercedes-Benz-Fuse.pdf

Some of these things will be at the Sprinter reference site: http://diysprinter.co.uk/reference/

... it's always a good idea to scrape such sites for any manuals/docs *you* may have even the ghost of a chance of needing "some day" so you won't be wailing "i missed them! :cry:" in the future.

Beyond the brochure, manual, Dealer Ordering Guide, and Equipment Book, what other resources are available? I'm trying to figure out things like my heater booster and am starting to feel like I bought a Russian vehicle.

Da, tovarisch.

What year?
For the T1N's Espar, there are a number of Espar manuals at http://www.diysprinter.co.uk/reference/

If you mean the AC control unit ... well, that's messier.
For the T1N, we do have so of the "body" manuals which go into slightly more detail.
"Luckily" in the US we seemed to have only a couple of the variants of the control unit (some fleet vehicles without AC)

I just posted a copy of the 2019 Sprinter fuse assignment brochure in the VS30 Database thread. For convenience, I have also attached a copy here.
Awesome, Yeah I saw it over there too. Downloaded. I still cannot find a fuse for the washer fluid. I will have to start poking around more. The fluid supply line appears to follow the factory harness to the back. My next battle is where I would hook up the rear speakers....I might pre run with an extra 10 ft or something and just assume it is behind the MBUX system.

This is where looking at the 2007 wiring diagrams helps a bit ... it shows you MB's current recent way of thinking.

In 2007, the window washer pump was driven directly from the Body Control Module (BCM).
It does not have "private" fuse. It depends upon the BCM's electronics to limit the current in case of a fault.

Thanks Dick. We have a T1N motorhome and I just bought a 2019 VS30. After watching some friends fail to ever get the T1N's Espar heater working as a reliable heat source, I've given up on that one.

This morning was my first opportunity (finally cold enough) to try out the Webasto auxiliary heater in the VS30. It fired up but the light on the switch never came on. Go figure. And it's supposed to have a timer that can be set from the MBUX display, but the menu item isn't where it's supposed to be.

So, I'm not going to monkey around with the factory Webasto heater - I bought a new Espar Airtronic S2 D2L that I'm going to install under the passenger seat. I just have to figure out how to connect to the small fuel line going to the Webasto.
