It does Nate. I mistyped. The grey ghost is a 1979 300SD (W116). I'm half tempted to rip the whole thing out and put in the manual Euro I have in the '78 280SE Euro parts car.

OOPS ! Kilma II doesn't have an Evil Servo..... sorry ben .
I'd take the blower out or maybe a spare one and take it apart , see if NAPA has the brushes in stock or buy them for 3 X the $ from Kent @ Mercedes' Source . I did this and the instruction booklet was missing a page .
In any case , it's a couple hour job , a spare set of hands is helpful but not mandatory .
If the blower only runs on " high " or occasionally after a bump , the brushes are shot .

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 .
