Rick (et al),
i just wanted to report back on this issue with my '85 300D; with
the help of the instructions below i was able to get the ACC unit out of
the car, and disassemble the unit (without breaking anything!). while no
cracks were visible to the naked eye, under the microscope in a clients
lab there cracks in the solder joints exactly where indicated in the link.
a skillful tech claimed it looked like there hadn't been enough
solder used at manufacture, and was able to re-solder all the joints in
a more suitable fashion. (we also tested and verified all the relays at
the same time.)
i managed to reassemble and reinstall the unit (without breaking
anything!), and the first few days of testing seem to indicate that it's
working perfectly.
thanks to all who contributed on this; now that temps are ranging
from low 40s to over 80, it's much appreciated to have a working Climate
Control!
cheers!
