Hi,

The Air Conditioning kept running eventhough the engine is turn off. Previously the A/C will not work properly, it will run only a couple minutes & then turn off on its own. Also when its running for that couple of minutes, it will not respond to any fan speed adjustment on the dash control but will fluctuate or not respond whatsoever.

Hi,

The Blower kept blowing cold (refridgerated) air on its on. With the blower control dial on zero, it kept blowing at mamimum speed.

Even turning off the engine of my 2001 E240 , it kept going. I manage to locate the unit below the passenger seat and unplug the power cable to the Blower.

Can you help me diagnose please?

Hi,

Is the AC control unit same as the REGULATOR, which is the small unit attached to the blower assembly. Its a metallic unit which have spiky ends.

the regulator is different. it's on the blower down there.

the control unit is the pushbutton on the center console.

Hi,

How to remove the centre console to access the Control Unit. The Blower & Regilator is very easy to access beneath the passenger seat dash.

Do I need any special tools to remove the centre console to get to the Control Unit? Are they easy to replace? How much are they & when can I get spare parts in Aust?


Kind Regards,
