Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : A/C blower problem cured?

 

Nate,

The blower is working fine, as is the rest of the controller functions,
on this 'new to me' controller.

I put the freon in 'on the road', just to make it home. Right now, the
car is in the shop dealing w/ the A/C which is said to be the service
valve. We'll see...

So ;

Now , if you run it on the non AC button and the center fan (automatic) buttom pressed , does the fan cycle up and down in speeds ? .

Do any of the replays on the controller , smell hot or burnt ?

The problem with adding freon instead of evacuating and testing the system is : it allows moisture to get in and contiue to corrode the delicate aluminum parts from the inside out , resulting in tiny microscopic pin holes that are maddening (at best) to find .
