I have the exact same symptoms in my '83 300SD with a freshly resoldered push button unit. I'm interested now.....
~Mr. Jim typed: ~ ~"Is that the aluminum housing servo I sold you a while back?" ~ ~Yes it is. It served me well last summer. What do you reckon Murphy would ~charge for a rebuild? ~ ~ "What happens when the blower dies and you push defrost? Defrost should ~ bypass the servo and put the blower to full speed using a relay. If the ~blower ~ only runs in defrost, it could be a bad servo." ~ ~After it fails and I mash the defrost, the blower comes back to life and I ~get loads of air out the defrost vents and whispers of air everywhere else. ~Somewhere I have a pushbutton assembly I picked up somewhere. Perhaps I'll ~swap it out and see what happens. ~ ~I suppose I need to devise a systematic troubleshooting methodology for this ~and get it right this year. ~ ~Bob Rentfro ~'77 300D, 151K ~Litchfield Park, AZ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~_______________________________________ ~http://www.striplin.net ~For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ ~For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ~To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: ~http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net -- Luther KB5QHU Alma, Ark '83 300SD (231,xxx kmi) '82 300CD (159,222 kmi) '82 300D (74,000 kmi) needs MAJOR work
