Air-con problem 1995 SL500
Hi all, I just got myself a 1995 SL500 and the air con has just packed up.
When I press either Automatic or any of the fans 1 to 4 buttons, no air blows out from any of the vents but I could hear noises inside the dashboard.
Also, I found one of the tubes in the engine completely iced up when the car is fired up with the air con switch on (but no air blowing).
I checked the fuses and they were okay.
Can I get some advise on the probable issues?
Thanks!

Lee could be absolutely right in his comments about the evaporator. My personal preference is to run the on-board diagnostics built into the Climate Control unit... See https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ble-shoot.html
Your symptoms could be an evaporator temp sensor or any number of other components...the diagnostics will set you in the right direction. Good Hunting-
