Heater fan erratic

bazzle · 09-19-2006

Heater fan started to run intermittantly.
Thought it was either regulator or HVAC controller. Dropped fan out from under dash..

Brushes worn out. Soldered in new ones ($35), good as new

Hello Bazzle,

Great to hear about DIY on the SLK.

I'm horrified about the MB costs here in the UK, £90 per hour plus parts and no actual certanty of a fix. Normal response to your fan problem would have been half a days labour plus new fan with a total cost of around £500 !!

i try to do all my own repairs etc.
