I just bought this 1998 MB C280. 87k, had no problems driving it home for 1,500 miles in two days. After getting home, on the next day the A/C compressor would try to come on, but would shut off after 2-3 seconds (observed) Did this routine non-stop. It was 98-100 degrees outside. A/C worked, but since the compressor wasn't allowed to run properly, the air was just cool. Afraid of damage, I drove in EC mode. HOT... When temps fell to higher 80s tonight, I tried tunning it again. The compressor is allowed to run and the A/C and climate control are running fine... BUT both of the condenser fans are running non-stop at max rpms. Doesn't matter if I drive or idle. I can't afford dealer, since I just bought the car. Please help! I found your thread VERY helpfull, but few numbers from Actual Values didn't match with mine. Evap temp is 38F. Not sure exactly what other numbers mean. Anyone has meanings for ALL of those Values? I've also found and cleared the following error codes: 232, 416, 417, 419. They were in the occasional category. Please help me figure out what's going on. Fans should not stay on like that. What the heck are they trying to cool??? My coolant temp is just fine.
