First my driver's side window regulator gives out. Then, just as 95
degree weather hits, my climate control has decided to quit...no fan,
no switching between vents, nothing but hot air blowing out of the
defroster and dash vents. The recirculate button doesn't switch on or
off either. Fuses in fuse box are good.

Does anyone know how to dismantle the dash in order to look around at
the control module? Are there any hidden fuses or connections anywhere
else that affect this unit?

My car is a very straight '87 300SDL with 250K. Its a very strong
runner, but these non mechanical issues are starting to get me down!

You need to change the yellow checkvalve located right on front of your
fusebox... two on one side and 1 on the other side... make sure all vacuum
line is tight.

Ditto.  Sounds like a vacuum leak so the climate control goes to default
mode: full hot air going from outside toward defrost.  This guarantees
you won't have a foggy windshield - a safety issue.

Of course you might black out from over heating....

Hi Vincent.
We have a 89 420SEL we're  parting out.
Same chassis as (w126) as your diesel.
Need parts?

Where are you located? Trunk? Bumper chromes?
