KLIMA Basics missing from this forum - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I don't know too much about the Klima, but I do know that if the tach isn't working, the compressor will not be switched on through the Klima.
Somebody bypassed my Klima using a wire on the pins. Pic to follow.......

Klima Relay issue

Yes, I did. A most interesting "fix." What did you end up doing about it? Did you replace it or put in an ice-cube replacement?

Didn't do anything about it, as I consider it "fixed" the way it is. Since our '85 W123's don't use a serpentine belt, I really can't see much need for it to be working.
The pressure switch must be on down the circuit from the relay, as the compressor won't activate if the switch is unplugged.

I sure will be watching your posts in the future. Can't wait until you have transmission trouble...

Thanks a lot!

Transmissions are easy. Lots of information, manuals, and special tools available (the most important one being the "credit card" tool). It's the little stuff that bugs me. Everyone assumes you already know what all of the little bits and pieces do but I don't even know what half of them are, much less what they do.
