Mercedes W164 ML 350 problem with air condition buttons (Workaround) A2518707389 climate

[@tracyoster9054]

You sir saved my vacation! The passenger side control got stuck at 84 degrees on Labor Day weekend. Your video allowed me to fix it and get it back down to 70. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@SkylerDy88]

I really appreciate these videos you posted on here. All 3 diff Mercedes issues occurred on separate occasions have been resolved thanks to your video. I like the idea that your videos are quick...this makes it easy to learn, very well explained -concise to the point. Sometimes these helpful tips aren’t found in manuals, Any person with minimal knowledge about cars and perhaps someone like myself with zero background regarding Mercedes and it’s functionalities can learn quite a bit thru these helpful videos! Thanks!

[@emanueltoma8945]

I know it's an old video, but my R class has had the same issue. The fix is simple. Remove the climate control panel, you will see a simall black plastic switch that moves left and right. With a needle or a toothpick, give it some small impulses, then put everything together. Magic! It's working again!

[@markkigenyi229]

Thanks it worked for me in the R-Class much love from Uganda

[@christinalopez6610]

Omg!!! God bless you! My poor 8 month old has been sweating it out. Sometimes I was afraid to put her in the car because she would get too hot. Thank you so much!

[@iRepairAutos]

+christina lopez glad I could help!

[@vidvidvid2012]

You're a genius!!!! You just saved me $500 bucks. Thank you so much!

[@iRepairAutos]

Glad this worked for you and saved you $$$

[@goodguysautosalesllp797]

As a dealership I find your videos very helpful. We currently have a 2007 GL 450 with the exact same issue you describe in this video. I am about to run out to see if your hack will work. If not, at least I have some idea of what I need to repair. You were surmising worn or corroded contact points in the knob itself. Thank you for your efforts.

[@iRepairAutos]

How did you make out?

[@cleoicequeen1]

You’re a genius!!!!!! It’s burning hot where I am and it was stuck on hot!!!! Now I got my cool ac back on thanks to you😃😃😃

[@emmavijayaratnam8507]

Absolutely brilliant, in my case its an intermittent problem but your fix was perfect. Thank you!

[@iRepairAutos]

Sounds good. Usually lint and dirt gets in and cruds up the contacts.

[@ephraimtshiya8247]

Thanks so much. You just saved my bacon literally. In my drivers side the temp was stuck at maximum heat. I was starting to roast every time I got in the car. Thank you once again.

[@iRepairAutos]

If you want I can repair that module for you.

[@chicksand5049]

This actually works! My button has been out of commission for 3 years! You ROCK!!!!

[@gordonballantyne700]

I just tried this and YES YES YES - my left temp setting now moves. It did not when clicking- thank you. Now to test later ti see if the Blend Doors move and all is well.

[@MariaMQueen-ov2lr]

Thanks I will try this in my truck it was blowing cool air out of all the vents but one , will try tomorrow will see these crazy control temperature knobs don’t make sense in Mercedes’ at all it’s too hot to feel warm air after you replace a compressor !

[@MariaMQueen-ov2lr]

I meant warm air

[@mmarmash]

the fix is even easier. Hold that wheel you turn, and pull it out towards you, this is a problem with the contact behind the wheel. grab and pull out and itll work fine.

[@tedspears1663]

Thanks Mike

[@robfargher1433]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much. 👍

[@michaelolili3682]

Thank you so much for this. I had already Ordered a replacement of the Module. 😆😆😆😁

[@1ns4ne1d10t]

Thanks buddy! My face and hands were being roasted alive stuck on 28 degrees on the drivers side and then ice cold on my passenger side. Followed your steps and it's back down to a more tolerable 21 degrees. Was about to kick my W164 in a temper

[@max670201]

[@sinanalhamdani9316]

Do you recommend buying used ML 350 2007-2012 ?, are they reliable ? and how about running cost?. Thanks,

[@iRepairAutos]

I do not recommend buying a used ML 350 unless you can do most of the repairs yourself. From 2006 - 2009 the ML350 had a balance shaft issue that caused the engine to lose timing and trigger the check engine light. The only solution is a very expensive engine rebuild with new parts. See my video here on the parts that are replaced: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5LSfYCOpNlqpKc The newer ones seem more reliable but as time goes on they will prove themselves. If you're going to buy one try to get one that has extremely low miles with a solid maintenance record. If you can get one under warranty or an extended warranty then that's even better. Mercedes Benz charges a lot for parts and maintenance. Hope this helps.

[@PRTube01]

Hi i have problem R500 2006 the passenger side icing clod but the driver side is Moderate 😢 not very very cold like the passenger side

[@emilbeq4399]

Thanks man

[@iRepairAutos]

No problem

[@kidsofficetrade4658]

It's only software problem. You need software update. It was 30 EUR to me in Hungary.

[@barbarasolomon4917]

Do you have any suggestions for the SRS LIGHT came on after changing battery

[@iRepairAutos]

Hmm... Since the battery is under the passenger seat. The passenger seat airbag electrical connection may have gotten disconnected while changing the battery. Unfortunately, you have to take the car in to have the SRS light turned off if you don't have a scanning tool that handles this (MB specific Scanner)

[@adry6768]

hi.i have an ml350 the ac start working good but after a few minute s blow hot air 😕HELP IS SOOOO 🔥

[@iRepairAutos]

Sounds like it could be something mechanical. Have the car checked at a jiffy lube etc. They usually do it for free. It could be a number of things, from as simple as low refrigerant to a compressor gone bad. Have it checked and let me know what they find. Good luck. Stay cool.

[@amoritz767]

I have a 2009 GL550 and the ac blows ice cold and then randomly quits cooling. It still blows, but just not cool. I turn the ac off and then back on again after a few minutes and usually it’s ice cold again. I checked pressures and they seem normal to me. Any ideas?

[@veramramraj1551]

MY A/C WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR, I RECHARGE THE SYSTEM AND IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK , WHILE RECHARGING THE COMPRESSOR SPINS BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR THE CLUTCH KICKING IN AND AS WELL THE A/C LINES DOES NOT GET COLD , WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE PROBLEM ?

[@iRepairAutos]

Did you charge the system yourself? Was the pressure in this line checked first? Was the oil in the line evacuated before recharging the system? A sudden loss in cold air could be a sign of a failed component. It could also be a sign of a leak. You mentioned that the compressor spins but the clutch is not engaging. I would do a pressure test on the line. The clutch is designed not to engage unless there is adequate freon/oil in the line which is based on the correct psi. Too much in the line and it will not engage as well.

[@westsidekash1704]

thanks for tip!

This is fixed with updating the software on the control module

[@lenin2780]

I replace my main battery and now my exhaust fan is on all of the time along with some bottoms on the dsr and esp not working any help

[@iRepairAutos]

You needed to zero out your car before disconnecting/replacing the battery. Zeroing out the car means all the lights, radio, electronic components are off for a certain length of time before replacing the battery. You will have to zero it out and disconnect then reconnect the battery again.

[@lenin2780]

Thanks I replace the battery and for some reason the fuse 57 which is the ob2 was blow replaced and car runs great
