Re: [MBZ] OT Covid Charlie Foxtrot

Typical, let the feds run it and it takes too long, is too expensive, and in the end doesn't even work right. Maybe one good outcome of this 'crisis' is a dramatic change in law and regulation to unshackle private enterprises for producing such tests. If I were Prez, I'd try to ram that through C

Re: [MBZ] Case in point: How to lie with statistics

I think that the law / regulations set in place by Congress prevented us from using any test developed by private industry or outside the US, back in January. Hindsight is 20-20. Remember that in mid-January, WHO was parroting the CHICOM lie that this virus was not able to be transmitted from hum

Re: [MBZ] Case in point: How to lie with statistics

Italy has an older population than the US and much older than South Korea, and apparently they stay skinny by smoking, there is your explanation for a higher death rate there. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Mar 19, 2020 at 7:12 AM Peter Frederick via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wro

Re: [MBZ] OT:Covid 19 Podcast

Well a figure of millions of deaths is assuming that all 331 million people in the US will be infected. I don't think that is realistic. I still think that order of magnitude of deaths in the US will be around 5000. I'm basing this on the numbers coming from China and making adjustments / allowa

Re: [MBZ] OT:Covid 19 Podcast

So I took a listen, and here's my response. These guys (and many others) are predicting 1 - 1.5 million dead in USA. How in the world did China get by with just a few thousand dead, when they completely bungled the initial reaction and did not start their quarantines until 2 months after the viru

Re: [MBZ] Ok y’all **it just got real

I'm still trying to get my head around the reason for the extreme reactions to COVID-19 vs. H1N1 back in 2009. Here in the US of A, H1N1 Swine flu caused 60.8 million illnesses, 273,304 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths. Over 200,000 probably died worldwide. Does anyone remember sealing off ou

Re: [MBZ] fan temp sensor W124 OM602

Read FSM 83-600, sections I thru K. That explains how the aux fan circuits function. The high speed is controlled via the HVAC PBU; I suspect that when you disconnect that temperature sensor, the HVAC has a circuit which defaults to turning the fans on (emergency fail-safe). In other words, the

Re: [MBZ] Loosening the horizontal console wood

Use a bright light, find the two screws inside the console box, one each side, I think toward the front of the box. Get that console box out of the way and you'll find the screw to remove so you can get the center console wood piece out. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 5:

Re: [MBZ] OT = On topic 124/OM602 overheating

There are two relays: K9, which operates the high speed function of the aux fans, and K10 which is for the low speed function (low speed circuit goes through a big resistor to drop the voltage). K9 is in position C in the fuse box, K10 is position B in the fuse box. High speed circuit: Test by j

Re: [MBZ] OT = On topic 124/OM602 overheating

Curley, I've got three of these cars, '87 with OM603 and two '95's with OM606NA. None of them need the aux fan running in the summer heat, unless the AC is running or I'm carrying a big load or running fast on the highway up hill and then suddenly slow down. Just driving around town at 75 deg F,

Re: [MBZ] OT: = ON TOPIC 124 2.5 overheating

Procedure 83-544 explains which switch and how to test. Are you using the AC now? Shouldn't be a concern unless ambient temps are pretty high. I suspect your thermostat. Another common problem is leaves and dirt collect between the front fan shroud (lower part) and the front of the condenser, w

Re: [MBZ] OT = On topic 124/OM602 overheating

Why don't you replace the thermostat? If you dig into the FSM for the HVAC system, it will have the test procedures for both low and high cooling fan operation. Section 83 I believe. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 8:26 PM Curley McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.c
