What type of generators are the hybrids using; AC, DC? Do the traction motors have permanent magnet fields?

Check the driver's side adjacent to the fuel heater insert in the hot side hose. That's were it is on the W124.

Re: [MBZ] Where is the ACC temp sensor? W124
yes, that is where its located but it doesnt have a foam tube. There will be an aspirator motor behind the glove box, make sure its running. As a test, you should be able to put a little piece of tissue against the sensor intake and it should hold there --- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Where is the ACC temp sensor? W124
The blower motor is underneath the right side AC vent, you have to pull the glovebox to get to it. Likely it is either stuck (not running) or the hose has come adrift. It's hard plastic, not foam. Symptoms are a non-working temp sensor, likely due to no flow. See if a bit of thin paper will stay up on the grille next to the sunroof switch -- the interior temp sensor resides behind it. If not, you will have to find out why it's not pulling and either repair the hose connection or replace the motor. You may also have other bad temp sensors as well, though.

Re: [MBZ] Where is the ACC temp sensor? W124
Hi John, This is all I could find about the interior temp sensor - there's lots of info about the exterior temp sensor - anyway - this should help you find the sensor. Let me know if you need something else - hopefully the attachment will get thru to you - maybe your sensor just needs cleaning --- Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs .. - Original Message - From: John Robbins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 9:26 AM Subject: [MBZ] Where is the ACC temp sensor?

Re: [MBZ] Where is the ACC temp sensor? W124
It should be behind a little grille in the courtesy light housing, if memory serves me correctly. From there a plastic pipe runs across the roof to the A pillar on the right side, then down along the side of the glove compartment, after which I think it goes to the blower housing. I may be wrong about the exact location - the sensor may be at the base of the tube below the A pillar - someone correct me if necessary - it's been a long time since I've pulled one of these out.
