Hello All, My 1985 123 wagon had a fully functional A/C until I used it one hot day last fall, when it kept the entire car of six people cool on a 100 degree LA day. No problems on that day whatsoever.
The following day, I loaned the car to my sister, who turned the A/C on and , well, nothing but hot air. And the horn wouldn't work. I replaced the relevant fuse, which was blown, but the new fuse blew immediately. Took it to mechanic (Algerian dude at Marina Benz) who replaced a bunch of stuff, including the control unit in the dash and apparently some relays. The compressor was fine. The bill was expensive, but it worked when I left. Briefly. I used it on another hot day, and, well, you can guess what happened: worked fine that day, but the next time I turned it on: nothing but hot air. And no horn. Compressor clutch does not make any noises of engagement at all. Belt is fine. Any hints as to where the trouble may lie? I don't miss the A/C but here in LA I really need the horn on the freeway...just thought I'd ask before throwing more money at the problem. Also, for any CA locals, is this Enrique guy up in Tarzana the best mechanic in the area if I need a new one (which I apparently do)?
