🔧 Item Description
Genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM HVAC Climate Control Module.
Fits R170 SLK-Class models for the "Facelift" years (2001–2004).
This is the manual-dial version featuring the classic tactile rotary knobs for temperature and fan speed.
Includes the complete faceplate and internal electronic control board.
✅ Functionality & Testing
✔️ Rotary Dials: Both temperature dials and the center fan speed dial have been tested for smooth rotation and distinct "detent" clicks.
✔️ Push-Buttons: A/C, Recirculation, and Rear Defrost buttons verified for positive engagement and functional indicator lighting.
✔️ Variable Speed: Tested blower motor signal across all speed settings (1–4) to ensure consistent voltage output.
✔️ Mode Selection: Confirmed that the air distribution dial correctly signals the vacuum/electronic actuators for floor, vent, and defrost settings.
✔️ Electrical: Rear harness connectors are clean with no bent or recessed pins.
🧼 Condition & Inspection
Professionally cleaned and sanitized.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent. The icons for the temperature (Blue/Red) and air modes are crisp and not faded or scratched.
Soft-Touch Coating: The finish is in great shape and is not sticky, which is a common issue with older Mercedes interior plastics.
Backlighting: Internal bulbs tested; provides a uniform amber glow for nighttime visibility.
