We bought our 1998 ML320 about 4+ years ago. Had it's issues, but what used vehicle doesn't. Currently we have these set of issues:
- Heated seats stopped working a long time ago (oh well)
- Rear wiper just clicks (according to one group member here it's a common problem)
- Starting issue (drive the Benz more then 30 min, stop, walk into Starbucks, come out 5 minutes later and you aren't going anywhere
- AC IS OUT
Prior to it going out completely, when it wouldn't turn on, I would pop the fuse box under the hood, *massage* some of the relays, and BAM, fan would click on. Not so much now. I stopped by one of the auto parts stores and got 2 new relays (the ones I would slightly tap/move back and forth) thinking I might just have a bad relay. No such luck.
Anyone have similar issues? I'm not against taking her in, I'm just looking for a potential DIY fix that might be a quick one and something I can take care of fast - it's hot here, of course. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. At least the windows work to keep as cool as possible.
Thanks.
