1998 C280 A/C system puzzle. Anyone?

[neznaika]

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 be shut off after 2-3 seconds (observed). It 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 to the compressor clutch, I drove in EC mode. HOT...

When temps fell to higher 80s tonight, I tried running it again. The compressor is allowed to run, and the A/C and climate controls are running fine... BUT both of the condenser fans are coming on as soon as I turn A/C on, and they run 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!

Found a thread about climate control diagnostic tool. Anyone has meanings for ALL of those sensor Values for this car? Also, I've found and cleared the following error codes: 232, 416, 417, 419. They were in the occasional category. No Continuous errors. Please help me figure out what's going on. Fans should not stay on like that. What are they trying to cool??? My coolant temp is just fine.

Is there a sensor in the condenser that's whacky? Why else would it try to cool it so hard? And what was that deal with compressor toggle? For two days now it's only the fan issue. Thank you all!

P.S. One of the error codes is about a freon pressure sensor... But I can't even check pressure, becasue I don't know which of the values in sensor readings is freon pressure. The only one I'm sure about is 05, which is evap. temp, and it's 38F, which means A/C works.
