Please forgive a first-time poster if this is the wrong forum, but I do suspect the electrics side of the system.
My C180 has developed a fault with the aircon. First drive of the day it doesn't work, in that the electromagnetic clutch doesn't engage. Leave the car for maybe half an hour and then it will work perfectly. I have taken it to a specialist, but of course it works when I get there, so they can't really do mich except confirm that there is the correct amount of R134 in the system. I have checked (and swapped) fuses 2 and 12. The red LED on the EC switch goes out when I switch the aircon on whether it works or not. The Haynes manual is next to useless on both aircon and wiring diagrams. Any ideas?
