Yup. Turn the knob toward blue if it's too warm, toward red if it's not warm enough. No thermostat action at all. I actually prefer it to "the car adjusts the temp for me". # pause while I dig....# I failed to find my notes. *grrr* So I went to the car itself. From what I saw and what I remember... The resistor value that I used is 11,310 ohm. I got to this value with two resistor in series. As I recall, this value came from Climate/83-602a.pdf on the CD manual. There is a table there that show the relationship between temperature and expecteded resistance 15 C (59 F) 15.7 k ohm 25 C (77 F) 10.0 k ohm 35 C (95 F) 6.5 k ohm 60 C (140 F) 2.5 k ohm The sensor is a bit of a pain to get to, especially the connector. It is in the middle of the two fresh air vents. I think I got to it last time with the glove box and instrument panel removed. Maybe I had the top panel of the center cosole out also. The fresh air vent boots really get in the way. The sensor itself is held in with via friction. There is a plastic ring that the body of the sensor fits through. The grating that's visible is larger than the body. The plasting ring underneath holds the sensor in place by squeezing the dash. The connector is a two pin and fastened by friction-only - that is, no latch that has to be unlatched. The pins are vertical, so the connector unplugs by moving straight down. The sensor has two archways on the body that allow access to the sensor side of the connector pins. I cut off the original wire on one side and soldered each end of the resistor 'chain' to each of the pins. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
