cooling fan help
I'm a new MB owner in Zimbabwe and recently bought a 2003 Merc E 320. My problems started last week when for some reason the engine cooling fan started running continuously even after a cold start. and considering how loud that fan is it sounds like i'm driving a bus and quite embarrasing at times. My tech has messed about with the aircon system previously and when we hooked up the car the only error that showed was a stored one which said 'refrigerant pressure in air con system too high'. Would that cause the fan to stay on or should I be worried about other things??
please help

If it was hot outside and you had the a/c on high then it would have cranked up the fan to draw air over the a/c condenser. My car does that all the time in the summer, and I'm assuming it's pretty warm right now in Zimbabwe.

Hi, I bought my first MB about two months ago, and since then it has been a problem after another. after changing all the front suspension and mounts, I turned the car on and the radiator fan kicked about 10-15 sec, I think it has nothing to do with me replacing mounts since I did not disconnect any wires while working on the suspension and mounts, but I unplugged the fan's connection (the one on the fan closer to the passenger side head light) and I saw some kind of green corrosion on one of the pins the smaller pin hole on the left side of the plug.
I just want to add that my AC have been out since i bought the car, could that be a related matter?
Please help!!!!
