There is a three-pin junction for the control and power and ground to the blower regulator, located on drivers side under the windshield. Under the hood, look on the cowl, pinch the sides to pull up the connector. I'll try to send a picture. I think you can apply ground and power and that

If it kept blowing the fuse the bearings were bad, and it's likely you have now burnt off the wire supplying power. I believe it's switched at the keyswitch, but will have to dig up the wiring diagrams to see for sure. No fuse in the fusebox, it's direct, although there may be a

This applies to my '87 wagon, manufacture date of January '87 (early version). On the connector referenced below (X64 in the wiring diagram), pin 1 is ground, wire colour should be black. Pin 2 is power from the fuse, should be red. Pin 3 is control signal from the PBU, should be green. The

OK so I pulled the ignition switch and tested the wire from where it connects to fuse holder and connection on ignition switch. It tests good so it has to be the switch I would assume. Yes I did try giggling switch while testing for voltage and did not get anything. Switch must be toast I

Should be a wire from fuse 12 input side to the outside fuse box -- prior to 12/86 the 12 position was used for the 30A fuse. Melted the plastic too much, so they changed to the outside fuse. You should be able to check, a pink/gray wire from the fuse box should run the the external fuse

This is a 93 FYI so I would imagine it came from factory with the 30A external fuse. I did check voltage supply as described in manual using the socket box tester, it all checks out so PBU is good. Its got to be either somewhere under fuse box or ignition switch I guess. On 11/8/2015 1:20

If you can find the wiring diagram and can make some sense out of it let me know. I have what I think is it pulled up in WIS but it is not very legible and I am not 100% sure it is even my exact car. They don't list a 124.128 in the diagrams I have. Even if I had a copy I have very little

See post I just sent. I currently have the fan and regulator removed. PBU checks out. I get 7 volts or whatever it calls for on 1 of the pins above the brake booster, so it is simply a supply problem to the fuse itself. On 11/8/2015 1:29 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: There is a
