Hello all,<p>I have a cheapie 1988 560 SEL that I am in the process of sorting out. Most of the centre console is dead, there are no fan speeds, no aircon, and no air recirc.<br>Is this most likely down to the resistors on the heater motor? I would welcome any advice, certainly before winter :)<p>Regards<p>Chris
the controls may be bad. I've heard that Mercedes had problems with their climate control units in the 80's. <p>I'm still trying to get mine to blow from the front vents and not the top. (the heat index is 110 in Dallas today)

There are several possible causes:<p>1) There is an under the hood fuse box that could<br>have a dead fuse.<p>2) There is a second "in-line" fuse behind the<br>panel for the blower motor.<p>3) The blower motor itself could be bad.<p>4) The console switch panel printed ciruit board <br>may be malfunctioning.<p>5) There is a blower circuit switch on the <br>ignition. Sometimes you can get the blower to<br>work by wiggling the key.<p>Good luck!<p>
Thanks for the advice, the culprit was the ignition switch. Mind you it wasn't cheap to fix as the steering lock needed replacing too. I dont suppose you know where the fuses for the electric rear seat is? <p>
humm...I have been suspecting the fuses or the<br>blower motor in 88 420SEL. Any way to check this out on the ignition? <p>My console has flakey problems,like the oil guage sometimes goes dead and a slight tap on the odometer reset button will cause the guage to come to life (not a oil sending unit problem). The other associated problem is the odemoeter reset button does not seem to work-(can't reset the odometer - wlll not push in to reset dial/mileage).<p>Thanks for any ideas on where to look.<p>Ed
