You sir saved my vacation! The passenger side control got stuck at 84 degrees on Labor Day weekend. Your video allowed me to fix it and get it back down to 70. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I really appreciate these videos you posted on here. All 3 diff Mercedes issues occurred on separate occasions have been resolved thanks to your video. I like the idea that your videos are quick...this makes it easy to learn, very well explained -concise to the point. Sometimes these helpful tips aren’t found in manuals, Any person with minimal knowledge about cars and perhaps someone like myself with zero background regarding Mercedes and it’s functionalities can learn quite a bit thru these helpful videos! Thanks!

If not, at least I have some idea of what I need to repair. You were surmising worn or corroded contact points in the knob itself. Thank you for your efforts.

I know it's an old video, but my R class has had the same issue. The fix is simple. Remove the climate control panel, you will see a simall black plastic switch that moves left and right. With a needle or a toothpick, give it some small impulses, then put everything together. Magic! It's working again!

Do you have any suggestions for the SRS LIGHT came on after changing battery

@iRepairAutos 7 жыл бұрын

Hmm... Since the battery is under the passenger seat. The passenger seat airbag electrical connection may have gotten disconnected while changing the battery. Unfortunately, you have to take the car in to have the SRS light turned off if you don't have a scanning tool that handles this (MB specific Scanner)

Do you recommend buying used ML 350 2007-2012 ?, are they reliable ? and how about running cost?. Thanks,

@iRepairAutos 7 жыл бұрын

I do not recommend buying a used ML 350 unless you can do most of the repairs yourself. From 2006 - 2009 the ML350 had a balance shaft issue that caused the engine to lose timing and trigger the check engine light. The only solution is a very expensive engine rebuild with new parts. See my video here on the parts that are replaced: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8eff7CJ1Nqbnnk.html The newer ones seem more reliable but as time goes on they will prove themselves. If you're going to buy one try to get one that has extremely low miles with a solid maintenance record. If you can get one under warranty or an extended warranty then that's even better. Mercedes Benz charges a lot for parts and maintenance. Hope this helps.

MY A/C WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR, I RECHARGE THE SYSTEM AND IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK , WHILE RECHARGING THE COMPRESSOR SPINS BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR THE CLUTCH KICKING IN AND AS WELL THE A/C LINES DOES NOT GET COLD , WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE PROBLEM ?

@iRepairAutos 8 жыл бұрын

Did you charge the system yourself? Was the pressure in this line checked first? Was the oil in the line evacuated before recharging the system? A sudden loss in cold air could be a sign of a failed component. It could also be a sign of a leak. You mentioned that the compressor spins but the clutch is not engaging. I would do a pressure test on the line. The clutch is designed not to engage unless there is adequate freon/oil in the line which is based on the correct psi. Too much in the line and it will not engage as well.

Sounds like it could be something mechanical. Have the car checked at a jiffy lube etc. They usually do it for free. It could be a number of things, from as simple as low refrigerant to a compressor gone bad. Have it checked and let me know what they find. Good luck. Stay cool.

You needed to zero out your car before disconnecting/replacing the battery. Zeroing out the car means all the lights, radio, electronic components are off for a certain length of time before replacing the battery. You will have to zero it out and disconnect then reconnect the battery again.
