Re: 190E electrical problem






2.5 years is not the point at which a battery should fail assuming it's not
a cheap POS.

OK, My battery terminals were in need of cleaning so this may have been
the problem. I took the battery to Autozone and the guy that tested it
said it was in goog shape which is what I thought. It measured over 12
and didn't even go all the way down to 10 when the tester similated
start-up and then immediately went back up to 12.

However, the heater blower still will not come on. The fuse on the
overload switch was still good but I replaced it anyway but this made
no difference.

So how can I diagnose the blower problem further? By the way, it's
possible this isn't a new problem. The AC hasn't worked for a couple
of years so I have not had the blower on since I needed heat last
winter. The blower had been making screeching noise on higher speeds
for a couple of years but last winter it was mostly quiet again. I may
need a new blower motor for next winter but I'd like to be sure before
buying one.

Thanks,

Bill
