Re: [MBZ] Radio Shack Stores Closing
I/we never had a problem with two under one shower head.

So I was flying back home a coupla days later from wherever this conversation took place, and saw a double shower head thing in that catalog, one shower head was on this long bending arm that could stick out and over the tub or whatever, and the other was where the normal shower head was. So I ripped out that page and sent it to her. She was totally crazy over it, and bought one. At some time later when I saw her again somewhere, I got a FULL report on it. She loved it, and apparently so did her husband. Like they both really loved it.

Re: [MBZ] OT Unbroken
Anyone read the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand? I am just about through it.

Re: [MBZ] '85TD interior fan odd behavior update
Try getting a used fan and swap it out. (Car-part.com Should be $25 or less) Could be a bad porcupine also. Max can tell you about testing the porcupine. Basically, power and ground in, modulated power out. should be full power on defrost. What about the tube and sampling fan? is that in good condition? If the computer thinks it is warm enough, you get no fan, no heat. I am leaning more toward the porcupine or the sampling tube/fan. For anyone keeping track, I changed out the PBU with a spare I have and the same thing occurs where the interior fan does not come on when the Hi-speed fan and middle (lower) PBU button are depressed after the car is started but the fan will start when the defrost button is depressed, so it looks like I've gotta' look into the connection(s) to the fan itself.

Re: [MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat
The signal to the monovalve is 12V PWM, and a slow rate. 1 second on to several seconds off, for example. I have a red LED mounted behind the defroster PB on the SEL, so I can see when it's trying to heat versus not doing it. I clearly have a monovalve problem there, but so far its its inability to run well in cold weather, and its seat heaters, means I haven't felt compelled to do anything about it. In other words, it has worse problems that need dealing with first. If the temperature regulation is screwy, check the foam hose. If it's shot the temperature the ACC will be regulating will be the UNDER-dash temperature, not the OVER-dash temperature. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: https://server.secureplusplusfour.net:2083/cpsess595060604/3rdparty/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat - update
Guys, I changed the new mono valve insert, which I had obtained from the PartsGeek, back to the one I had in there previously where one could not regulate the temperature via the PBU thumbwheel . . . it would be max heat at the MAX position or almost no heat at any other temp setting. The old mono valve now back in place now, get this, I've got regulateable heat via the PBU thumbwheel now where the new mono valve insert didn't provide any heat at any PBU setting . . . go figure; I'm thankful for miracles no matter in what form they appear. I'm gonna' try sending back the new mono valve inserts to the PartsGeek. I'll bet they're Chinese junk as there are no markings and the diameter of the mono valve (silver) shaft is rather large which causes quite a tight fit. Also, in reference to the multi-purpose (turn signal) stalk which I was having trouble with in my '84 300D and replaced with one obtained on Ebay where the seller indicated that it was a working stalk, I just got done measuring continuities of the 14 pin connector in all stalk positions of my original stalk and, since I cannot get the lo-beam headlight position to lose continuity when gently wiggling the stalk as it had been doing when it was in the car previously (Note: I've since done a quite a thorough cleaning , etc. of the original stalk while out of the car using acetone and DeOxit . . . maybe that's the reason it seems to be working OK? I'll reinstall it in the car to see what happens and try to return the Ebay obtained stalk to the seller, though he has not responded yet but I'll follow the Ebay rules and wait 3 days before contacting Ebay.

Re: [MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat
If the monovalve is OK, and it passes the diagnostic test, then it’s probably one to both of these two things: 1. Your temp sensor is bad (under that little grill on the dash, the grill is actually part of it) and/or 2. the tube that supplies the suction to carry the air past the sensor has deteriorated. I had the same symptoms, and when I replaced the sensor and the tube, my system started working perfectly again. Be careful with the sensor as it is delicate. The tube can be bought at Lowe’s or home Depot: it’s small diameter pipe insulation. Just cut it to length and tape the slit on the side. Jon On Mar 11, 2015, at 9:54 PM, G. M.

To explain about the problem of not maintaining heat, what actually happens for example when a temperature is chosen via the thumbwheel on the PBU say just below the MAX (note: click stop setting), the heat will gradually disappear within a couple minutes and I have to keep switching to MAX, etc. Since I've inspected the neoprene seals of the mono valve inserts in both cars using a 10X loop and haven't been able to locate any very small holes, I recently purchased new mono valve inserts and installed a new one in the 300D and drove it this evening and had no heat no matter what . . . go figure.

Re: [MBZ] Should I look at this?
There are a couple for sale around here that look decent, but I know nothing about them and they seem to be priced at a premium compared to the W140s.

Re: [MBZ] Should I look at this?
I've been looking for over a month. For some reason the market down here seems to be slow, I'm not sure why. I've got a nice 2001 E55 on the hook, but it's all the way across the country, and I'm not keen about the $1000 it will take to ship it here. I would much rather find something closer to home. I'm under some pressure as the wife's Mazda 6 is getting a bit long in the tooth and I really don't want to put any more money into the car if I can avoid it. Something will turn up. It's just a matter of time... I've got a couple of S320's I'm going to check out this weekend.

Re: [MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat
AFAIK When you switch to max you are stopping all current flowing to the valve. If the heat stops after you switch to any setting other than max, it sounds like the coil might be shorted out. I would check the voltage across the leads going to the valve while someone moves the control back and forth from heat to no heat. You should get a variable voltage reading from zero to 12v or something less. If not, then the whole valve may need to be replaced. Since it is sometimes difficult to access bare wires or terminals I have a set of test leads for a voltmeter on which I have soldered needles. If it's difficult to get to bare terminals, I shove the needles through the wires and get a reading that way. Then I put a dab of liquid rubber on the holes where I stuck the needles and wrap a piece of self-stick rubber tape around them. Gerry .what actually happens for example when a temperature is chosen via the thumbwheel on the PBU say just below the MAX (note: click stop setting), the heat will gradually disappear within a couple minutes and I have to keep switching to MAX, etc..
