85 500SEL climate control power antenna problem
I have an 85 500 SEL 125k, beautiful car. For some reason the power antenna does not do anything (don't hear it even make an effort to go up), an the climate control system also doesn't do anything. I don't know the history of the car, so I am trying to figure this one out. Could it be something electrical? Are the two on the same fuse or circuit?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Re: 500SEL Probs
Did this just occur or did you purchase this way? Does Radio work at all?
Obviously electrical!
Check fuse # 10(8Amp) & 11(25Amp) for ACC Unit.
Check fuse # 15(8Amp) for Pwr/Antenna.
Check relays at positions B & C (fan high & low speeds)!
Check Ground Points 102 & 103 (EMail me & I'll try to send you the diagrams in PDF format if they're not too large).
I believe the Brown wire in the left hand wheel well by the antenna housing is the ground (G103) to the antenna motor. Ground G102 is behind the Instrument Cluster which you will have to pull with a special tool (which you can make if you're handy. Be careful of the connectors when doing though).
Both component share these ground points & are on Circuit(s) 15 & 15X respectively
