blower / heater dead
 

Any thoughts?

This all started a week ago - been having some strange electrical issues - gota new battery 4 months ago - after 2.5 weeks of not using car at all (on vacation) I returned - car started great - got home. Went to work next day, when I turned off car& took thekey out - still heard blower going (wierd). Went to work - end of day to go home - car dead. Got jump, started after a while. Been working fine until a dayago when blower died.

No heat, no defrost - big deal b/c I'm in cold, snowy mountains. Still feel a little heat barely coming through vents.

Any general hints, tips on electrical sytem maintenance on E320 4matics (yr. 2000 - wagon)?

This should be most everything you need to know about the blower motor:

W210 blower motor

Good luck. I think some of those threads will save you a lot of $$ and frustration!
