My wife's AC worked fine in her new to us 2006 Mercedes E350.
That is, until I found this hidden in the fuse box:
I was able to track the part number down to "AC Compressor Control Solenoid" and I get the feeling it's there to keep a code off the computer. But.... well...
If that's there, what's in its hole? Why did it work before and not after I laid eyes on it? (I might check the connections, I did disturb them a little), Is this a normal things kids do these days?
Has anyone seen a similar situation? If so, can you give me the whos, whats, wheres, and whys? Perhaps more important, how do I get this back to spec?
Thanks guys.
The car is a Japanese import if that might have something to do with it (maybe they.... well, heck. I still don't know how to explain it)
