W210 Won't Start


W210 Won't Start

In the right rear section of the engine compartment there is a box housing the computer modules and some fuses. At the bottom of the box is a cooling fan.

The brushless fan has some built-in electronics to convert the 12VDC to AC. The filter capacitor chip in the fan shorts out blowing the 7A fuse for the computer box disabled some of the computers. No cranking - no start.

The shorted cooling fan is a known problem whit the 210 models.
