Air-Cond'g problems '94 E420
Last year + this year, the same situation!
The air-c works great except when it does not want to . . . Situation 1, say Monday AM: I start the car with air-c on and back out of the garage. The blower works fine - but NO cooled air! I have learned to stop the car turn the motor off, remove the key, count to 3. Restart, the air-c works great. Stop at 3-4 places, the air-c works great. Situation 2, say Tuesday NOON: I start the car with air-c on and back out of the garage. The air-c works fine. OH oh, after 3-4 miles, the cooling stops, the blower continues. I've been trained to savely stop the car, turn it off, remove the key, count to 3. Restart the car, move on, the air-c does NOT work. I stop the car, this time I count to 10. That did it. After restart, it works great. The point here is that I can't depend on the air-c to work as advertised. We need it in Southern Oregon. The last few weeks it's been over a 100° daily! My dealer had the car last year at this time and switched out many switches, valves, containers along with lots of seal-rings. Cost $683. The system seemed to have improved for awhile. Then the temps changed and the air-c was no longer needed. This year - mid July the car went in for the very same symptoms. The dealer changed, new owners. The service was fast. Just a fuse was needed. Cost $103. Three days later I went back with the same problem. The tech's can't duplicate the problem! Recommendation: Come back with the problem happening, do not turn off the car. OK! Last Sunday it would not work. Only to work great after 2 stops, with motor off, key removed counting to 3.?! So, I don't know what next? I will take the car to the dealer when the system failes. I don't know if they will find anything? Moreover, fix it for good? Does anyone know - what I am experiencing? Please write to weiland@ashlandweb.com. Thanks in advance, Mike Weiland |
