2002 mercedes s430
Mechanical advice

So i purchased a used 2002 s430 about a year ago , i purchased said vehicle in a attempt to keep the miles off my other car thats a lease , im only allowed 12k mileage per year on lease , it might be 15k , not really sure? anyway ,, when a long trip is needed i use the benz , if not it just sits in the garage. my problem just started today. this morning i turned the heat on , however it did not blow warm air. my a/c works however no heat? another clue is my car seems to be running cooler , im full on the antifreeze. only other thing i can think of is the thermostat. anyone ever replace theirs? i could be wrong it might be something else? i will share a secret for the help. if your headlights ever get foggy or yellow get a can of OFF bug spray. the chemical deet cleans the plastic.(i would only clean them once) due to this deet chemical. also sometimes when i start that benz the wiper will move on their own , 1 full wipe and it stops , is this a code for something?

This is posted in the wrong section - w220 AMG. You may want to post it in the standard w220 section for more help...
