I can't see what difference that would make, is it blowing fuses are is the fuse box corroded?

Ali fuses oxidise and react with the holders especially if its damp, and create a high resistance contact. But simply cleaning properly would bring everything back the way it should be.

That's right and if it doesn't, that suggests the problem is elsewhere.

No all analogue, its the early 500sl with the analogue mileage counter

So how would a fuse effect the speedo, it wouldn't which suggests the fault is elsewhere. check the speedo drive cable is ok and hasn't fouled any wiring causing the electrics to sort and melt the cable.
