The pickup is a coil hiding behind a thin aluminum wall at the rear of the shaft. If the shaft had chewed its way to the coil methinks it would no longer hold refrigerant. I think the problem is electrical. Either the coil is shorted internally, or something else along that line is wrong externally. A few shorted turns internal to the coil would still ohm out OK, but would short out any induced voltage. (An inductance tester would detect this, if you had one.) I believe the coil plug can be replaced, but I don't know if one can get them other than off some other compressor. You could measure the resistance between the Klima's tachometer pins. It should not be particularly low, certainly not low enough to short out all the signal. -- Jim _______________________________________ 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
