Tomcat SL

I had a cup in the driver's side cupholder of my 2004 SL55 and it sweated condensation down into the temperature adjustment knob. Immediately after this, the a/c panel was completely dark (no power and no climate control). After a few hours of evaporation/drying out the panel has lights and the heat seems to work BUT I do not seem to have consistent control of the a/c and the compressor does not seem to cycle.


Anybody have a solution/troubleshooting suggestions?

You ruined the AC control module---replace the module or live with your misfortune.

Is there a part # and good source (other than MB dealer)?
Thanks!

Plutoe

post your VIN for the part number then start looking at all the MB junk yards----and watch out for the chicom ebay HS!!

Any one of the following three will work-----230 830 07 85,----- 06 85 and 02 85 and don't be fooled by the bens wurld mumbo jumbo that others will work, because you will be back whining!

Wow Thanks!
I guess was off a bit...somehow I got 230-830-13-85
So you say any of these:
230 830 07 85
230 830 06 85 or
230 830 02 85
Do you have a good MB parts supplier?
Can you email me how you got these part #s? As I search the web, some of them come up as year 2007+ parts. Thank you for your help and understanding about not ordering the wrong part. tbaranek@earthlink.net
THANKS! Tom

Ps-My last search for a 2004 SL55 AMG yielded:
Dash Control Unit - Mercedes-Benz (230-830-01-85)...and 230 830 13 85???
Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz

• Part Number: 230-830-13-85
• Part: Dash Control Unit
• Replaces: 230-830-02-85, 230-830-06-85, 230-830-07-85, 230-830-11-85

Can you show me where/how you got these part #s. One of the MB parts sites said it was a different number than any of these three...but it looks like they were wrong (anyway).

This part 230-830-13-85 superseded the other Parts and with some "re-programming" by an independent it is working well!
Thanks Plutoe and Forum
