No, it would not come on in Defrost that was one of the first things I tried. Fuse was OK, and I got it running again by just thumping the dash a few times. Been working OK since then.

Re: [MBZ] no heat
Checked the fuse this morning and it's fine. In fact it was blue when the card in the fuse box cover called for a red fuse so someone has already tried the Andrew strategy. I got into the car, thumped a fist on the general area of where I imagine the blower is, and it whirred to life.

If it's the fuse, expect to replace the motor soon, it's dragging on the bearings and pulling too much juice.
