Sorry, I should have been clearer. I purchased a 13k mile 560SL and the AC does not work. It has been recharged and checked for leaks and it appears the AC compressor is not working. Given the mileage, it is unlikely it is worn out. Curious as to whether anyone else has had similar problems and if there is anything to check before the compressor is replaced.

Check the fuse chart on the fuse block cover. Also if the fuses are silver corrosion of dissimilar metals is common. Clean the contacts. Better to replace them all with brass/copper fuses.
There is also an A/C compressor control unit located behind the glove box. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r-c1...ml#post3616901

Checking for update. I'm about to take my '87 560SL in for a new compressor and drier to convert to R134. My compressor is definitely shot....but I am curious how your situation turned out. Thx.
