C32 AMG strange air conditioning issue - Help !
Hi,
Here's a weird and strange circumstance on my C32 AMG, that I am hoping someone here would maybe be able to help or advice.
It's winter right now here, and I drove my car out today and nothing happen, no problem at all. But on my way home the Air Conditioning would blow air for a second without the air condition switch even on and turns off by itself (like as if my car is possessed). So pretty much the air comes on for a second and off again without me even turning the air on at all. It happens a few time tonight until I parked the car in my garage.
I am wondering what could cause this ?

A short to ground is when the power wire for the specific component grounds before the switch, there fore completing the circuit and turning it on.
In your case maybe there is an exposed wire touching a ground. The vibration from driving could be making it touch something under the dash that grounds it out

It's really strange.
But then today when I took the car out, it didn't do it again.
It's super strange.
Knock on wood, hopefully it doesn't act weird again.
Crossing my fingers....

A short to ground repair can be anywhere from easy to extensive depending on where the short is. The control unit is a breeze to fix. Just need the part!

When the car is in traffic the A/C will turn to warm and only in traffic, on highway it's very cold, if you rev above 2000 rpm in traffic the A/C will turn cold...![word](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/werd.gif)

How much does the control unit usually cost if it is the control unit that's problematic ?
Just made an appointment to go in tomorrow. They are busy today.
