Re: [MBZ] Diagnosis Confirmation, UPDATE

[Dan Penoff]

I considered that, but one of the hard lines that goes around the back of the 
compressor is bolted up in a way I don't think I can get at it.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I relented and drained the cooling system and pulled the radiator.  Major PITA, 
but only took about 15 minutes.  I knew that would be the case just as it is 
with 123 and 126 chassis', too, as they all come out in a jiffy.  Just a mess I 
didn't want to deal with, but

Took a couple of tries with the snap ring pliers but I got it out.

Drum roll, please...

The ground wire was broken on the clutch coil right behind the pulley.

wah, wah, wah

No worries, as there is no way we could have seen it without pulling everything 
off anyway, but at least it confirms that the clutch coil, was, in fact, not 
working.

So I'm taking a respite to recover from my frustrations and in an hour or so 
I'll start putting everything back together.

More as I know it, and thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions.
