Yep, I checked it and it was A-OK.

I'm afraid that the hose may be damaged somewhere along the line..

Do you have one of those air filters ....like activated charcoal ? Could it be in that part of the system and clogged up ?

BENZ-LGB,
Actually, It's been fairly quiet here today, so far. Ran some errands after church, and traffic was light.

Gotta be a hose loose (or plugged) between aspirator motor and sensor. Motor definately has suction? Not a loose impeller on the motor shaft? My hose in the "A" pillar is fairly stout rubber, but maybe with the heat here recently, yours has collapsed?

I checked the aspirator fan...I even tried a new one...it has good suction at the tip of the fan.

When I removed the overhead console I cleared some dust from the sensor and checked the hose.

What I think mya have happened is that when I had a cell phone kit, the installer ran the wire from the cellkit unit under the front passenger carpet area, up the right hand A pillar and then to a point right under the rearview mirror, where the mike for the cellphone was instaled.

I have a sneaking suspicion that int he process the hose was either pinched or "poked" or something.

Do you know how to remove the A pillar cover to check the hose?

I think that's where the problem may be...

Enjoy the nice beach weather.

On the 126 it's job # 68-405. I've got a PDF file, but it's too big for the forum attachment limit and the forum email doesn't allow attachments.

Basically you remove/loosen the felt-like windlace in the A pillar area and use a plastic/wood wedge to tap under the A pillar molding, in an upward direction to release two clips that point down. The clips are about 1/3 the distance from the top and 1/3 from the bottom.
