Replaced Climate CTL PNL, Now A/C Light Blinks twice
Hi guys and gals. My wife’s 2014 E350 cabriolet (A207?) had a climate control panel with a crazed/cracked surface under the buttons. So I replaced it today with a new MB part. My question is….Do I need to do some sort of A/C Reset after changing the A/C control panel? Because the A/C doesn’t work now.
Everything works fine except went the A/C button is pressed, the light blinks twice and then stays off. The compressor never comes on. An internet search fines info on A/C Reset buttons for several MB models. I tried several none worked. I found one page that said the reset button for W212s is on the side of the compressor. I don’t see one. I scanned for codes and there are none.
So I plan to remove the center vents and head unit tomorrow morning and check the connections on the new A/C control panel. And if maybe reinstall the old panel.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone ever replace this panel before?
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the reply/help. Of course I was looking for an easy fix so this is disappointing to hear. But if that’s what I have to do I’ll do it Monday morning. If I had disconnected the battery before starting the job, would it prevented the need for reprogramming?
