Angry AC Not Blowing

Hey W212 family,

I dont know if its hot where you live but its been blazing here in South Florida! My car's AC had been doing very well until this afternoon when the wife was taking it for some groceries and it just stopped on her.

The control unit appears to be working fine but when turning the AC on nothing comes out of the vents. The fans dont spin up at all. Nothing. I am hoping its just a fuse... but am mentally preparing for something worse.

Anyone ever experience this?

Thanks!

Caleb

Caleb, if you don't have a scanner buy one so you don't need to keep guessing blindly.
