Pulled the solenoid block and that section plus one other would not energize (one ground, eight total connectors). Firm whack on ground corrected this, for a while. Then back to the same old ****. Bought a new one, $97 later, system works as designed. Wished I had tried that a decade ago.
This thread showed up on my search. How did you go about zip tying the defrost vents shut? I have an 81 280SEL now and AC goes out front dash weak and defrost vents about the same. I wouldn't mind trying to zip tie them shut.
Thanks, Austin
