[diesel_mercedes] Re: Klima II woes

 



Brushes in the blower motor is the first thing to check .

New blowers are now very cheap ~ $100 +/- .

I assume you've done the basic Evil Klima I servo testing ? it _MUST_ travel from one extreme to the other evenly and stop with a thump .

if it groans to a stop at one extreme or the other , it _WILL_ burn up your amplifier ~ it's right behind the glove box liner .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: charging system more woes

 



Well ;

If the alternator passes , it's hard wired to the battery so it must therefore be charging....

If not , follow the 1.5 MM red wire from the back of the alternator to the battery , IIRC it only has one joint in it , this joint might be loose or corroded .

Clean it with metal polish NOT sand paper or other abrasive ! .

Is the engine properly grounded ? .

I raised my charging rate by adding a ground strap from ther battery to the engine ~ photo of it in the photos on the home page .

so the alterator passes, battery is good, new belt nice and tight and still no charging.

What else could it be?

thanks!
