Hey guys back here again reporting an issue on my auction buy of a 2001 E320 sedan. I picked it up yesterday in Atlanta and boy it was hot outside! I was sad when I cranked the car to see that the air conditioner would not come on. The compressor was not turning and the blower would not blow. But the display did light up and all the functions seem to work. There was just no action .

Today this morning I get in it crank it up and the air conditioner fires right up and is blowing extremely cold air! The compressor was running full time. However after about two or three minutes as the car warms up the blower just starts to fade out until nothing comes out at all. I have had a lot of AC woes with my Benz is over the years but I have never experienced this issue.

Has anyone had any experience with this? If so does anyone have an idea of where or what I should check first?

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide have a great day!
