I have been through hell with my 300SDL replacing every climate control component over the last 3 months and yesterday after finally getting cold air to blow through the vents the exact same thing happened to me. I wanted to burn the car to the ground…but this had to suffice. I had a LOT of smoke and burning wires in there. I hope it's salvageable…I think

I tried to upload a pic of my hammer claw stuck 2" into my trunk lid, but that didn't work either…back to the bar
