Stearman.

Guy I worked with at Kohler had one, restored it from the ground up. It was the 
more typical yellow and blue livery that was used for military trainers, as I 
recall. He flew it all over the place. I got to go up in it several times. Not 
my cup of tea as far as flying, but a great experience.

Re: [MBZ] Now it's the AC fan

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Fuse #77 on the passenger floorboard "pre-fuse" block is good, as I expected. 
It did look a little oxidized so I cleaned it up, but that didn't change 
anything, still no blower.

Found a post at Pelican Parts about checking various things, will dig into it a 
bit more tomorrow, it's starting to get dark and I hate working in dim light, 
and I'm hungry.

Re: [MBZ] Now it's the AC fan

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

So the "blower motor" fuse is listed as #77 (a 40A fuse) in the "Front Pre-Fuse 
Box"

I would think that with a 40A rating and being called a "pre-fuse," if that 
fuse were blown that more than just the blower would be out. All the climate 
control display and buttons appear to be working normally, just no fan. No 
noise or other indication that the fan motor was going out prior to this.

Again, this all happened while the boy had the car. He went back to school 
yesterday. I asked him when the blower had stopped working, he said he didn't 
know.

[MBZ] OT: Hot out!

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

A couple weeks ago I bought a Haier HPN10XCM roll-around 10,000 BTU air 
conditioner at a yard sale, for $25. (This was approximately a $4–500 unit when 
it was new.) It was claimed to be working, but noisy. (I had intended it for my 
son's room, which gets very hot due to the afternoon sun and the fact that his 
computer, a MacPro 2,1 running Windows 10, can't go to sleep and wake up again, 
so it's usually always on—24×7. However, he showed absolutely no interest in 
using it to tame the heat in his room.)
Yesterday it was very hot, the third or fourth 100+ degree day in a row, so I 
fired it up in the living room where the swamp cooler just can't reach 
effectively. Yes, it's noisy indeed! But it cooled well. Very smoky (stale) 
smelling, though, it could use a thorough cleaning.

I opened it up. The plastic squirrel-cage blower on the condensor was severely 
out of balance, and had numerous blades that had broken loose from the free 
end's ring. It wobbled fiercely, enough to have developed a crack in the 
housing where the fan motor attached, exacerbating the noise and vibration 
problem. I used Shoe Goo to glue back 20+ fan blades to the ring, and to pot 
over the housing cracks. I also noticed that the fan always settled at the same 
point when spun by hand, rocking backwards if necessary, so the static balance 
was clearly off. I deposited Shoe Goo in layers on the light side of the fan's 
free-end ring, until the fan, when spun, would stop and stay stopped at random 
positions, indicating that the static balance was now pretty close to optimal. 
Once it had dried some I fired it up again, briefly, and noted that the noise 
and vibration were much reduced. Success? I'm going to let it cure thoroughly 
overnight.

The condenser was also heavily coated with dust bunnies and pet hair, which I 
removed. I straightened some bent fins on the evaporator.

After the glue had all dried thoroughly I ran the unit.  Much quieter!  So far 
it's holding the (now-sequestered) living room at 71 degrees.

Re: [MBZ] Now it's the AC fan

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Not encouraging that FCP Euro shows the blower motor resistor, blower motor 
relay, and blower motor control module all as Discontinued and NLA (though from 
the photos, these all appear to be different names for the same part).

MB Parts Source lists the "HVAC Blower Motor Control Module - Mercedes-Benz 
(230-821-64-51)" for $276.

Hoping it's just a fuse. The control panel is behaving normally, just no air 
blowing.

[MBZ] Now it's the AC fan

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Fan not working in the 2004 E500 today. Fortunately the weather is pretty nice 
but going to be hot this weekend.

Anyone know where the fuse is for this? Some sources say it's under the 
passenger side floor mat but others say different things for different years.
