1996 s class question
hi all
looking to pick up a 96 s320.
my question is
does this car have side air bags?
the 98 -99 say SRS on door panel
this car does not
what gives here
or maybe it is not a 96 actually a 95

also
what happened to the Russian MB site that was
able to check vin numbers
it is not working
anyone know why?

I have a 96 S320 and the blower motor stopped working. Anybody have an idea where to start? The blower motor is not getting any voltage at all and the climate control is reading ok on the the fan control side.

No voltage to the motor. Is there a main relay that the climate control controls. Does it go through a fan resistor? Because usually on high setting most car bypass one. It just doesn't seem that the climate control wires can handle the draw of the fan motor. Got any idea or a place I can get a wire diagram or a decent repair manual?
