roof fan removal
alright, i need to remove the fan that sits up on roof console which controls the interior lighting. i know how to remove the light cover on both sides, but how do u remove the panel which lies over the fan. get this anoying buzzing sound when i driving intermittently.

it all snaps apart. take the light covers off and grab it to pull it down, it pops right out but sits firmly in there. Already replaced it on my E300
BTW. Also I replaced the map light with an amber bulb. Sometimes that clear map light is too strong. The amber bulb is perfect for when you need light or for the passenger and don't want it to bother you while driving at night...

hmm, maybe i need to replace or clean mine too. i've always noticed it takes a long time for my climate control to react to the car's temperature - especially when it is cold. is it really a fan that i can see moving, or is it a little pump or something. i guess i could look for myself, but my car is out in the parking lot...
