HVAC. system not working properly, just started acting up in the last couple of miles.matthewjackson - 1997 Mercedes Benz SL500 - Body & Interior - 6/15/2013The center dash vents quit blowing and only the outer vents and windshield defroster vents blow at full blast no matter what the setting. Behind the engines I found what I believe to be the HVAC vacuum tubes were there is a small blue diaphragm I'm wondering if is ...-
6/15/2013 HouseCallAutoThere is no way to diagnose this without the use of a scanner that can display live data and fault codes from the HVAC electronics. Very often a MB will lose the cold air and the led on the ac turn on button will remain illuminated at all times which indicates a problem already. Sometimes just erasing HVAC codes can get the system working normal again (for a short time) and sometimes not. There are so many sensors and components that the odds of you being able to decide what you should replace and then be correct is slim to none. You will throw parts at it and will not likely be successful. There are calibrations and software changes as well. I am a big proponent of the DIY trade but this one, IMHO, skip it. Bring to MB experienced tech.

Left turn signal flash on its own without activating left turn switchraymond.bonilla - 2002 Mercedes Benz CLK320 - Body & Interior - 6/3/2013Turn signal lever is in neutral position but left turn signal still flashes. I live in florida and this seems to happen when the car has been sitting for a few days.-
6/3/2013 JimmSeveral possibilities; faulty turn signal lever or switch, faulty turn signal flasher, faulty turn signal relay. I'd bet the issue is with the turn signal switch itself - due to the fact the problem is only on the left side signal.
Check the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse, www.carpartswarehouse.com, or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example (they) RockAuto list the turn signal switch (Beck/Arnley part # 2011969) from around $62.00 for your vehicle.

I changed the car battery.. Power windows do not operate normally.roylee - 2000 Mercedes Benz E320 - Body & Interior - 5/24/2013-
5/24/2013 sergio.simetricaif you changed the battery you have to reset the windows and the sun roof, this is done by holding down the control of each glass up and down until you reach the end of its travel and keep well for about 2 to 3 seconds, up or down. With the sun roof also have to do the same, take it to the end of its stroke by pressing and releasing the control, once it reaches the end of its run, maintain control down for 2 or 3 seconds-clockwi, or closing and opening the sun roof

Is there a part I can repair or replace to stop this? And the glass in one is discolored; can the glass alone be replaced? Replacing the entire unit is ...-
5/4/2013 JimmYes, try replacing just the mirror portion of the sideview mirror - rather than the entire assembly (housing and mirror) at much greater expense.
Try the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse.com, www.partsgeek.com and www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example, they (RockAuto) list the outside mirrors (both left and right) from around $14.00 and around $20.00 each - depending upon which side.

4/24/2013 HouseCallAuto1. Attempt to resynchronize the windows by pressing the window up button until the window is completely closed and then hold the up button for an additional 5 seconds. This will resynchronize the express up feature of the window.
2. Next press the window down button and allow the window to fully open. Hold the window down button for an additional 5 seconds once the window is fully open. This will resynchronize the express open feature of the window.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each window.
4/25/2013 las0194Thank you, I will give it a try when I get a chance. Someone also told me this is a convenience option for it to do this when pressing the key lock button down too long?
