I installed heating elements for the front seats and wanted to wire them to fuse #14 since it wasn't being used, but there was no power coming from that terminal as far as I could tell. I put a volt meter between the terminal (where you'd send power to a device) and the car's chassis and got nothing, both with the ignition switch on and off. The fuse is okay.

The Bentley says it is for the radio in 1992 and '93 240s, and for unlisted accessories. The fuse box door's description just says accessories and spare.

Is this particular fuse supposed to be cold or is there a problem? I've never figured out where the power to the fuses comes from physically - I only see wires going to the devices they are powering. Are the wires coming to the fuses behind the fuse block?

I'm powering the heated seats from fuse #4 instead. It's an eight-amp fuse, so if it blows, I'd like to use a 16-amp fuse, which is what #14 is.

Thanks!
