Mercedes ML Hybrid Radiator Grille Problem

My Mercedes ML hybrid, build year 2011, is having radiator grille issues. The temperature readings are erratic. The check engine light is on, and the engine warms up very slowly. Could the cooling system be blocked? Has this happened to anyone?

That sounds familiar. My ML had similar symptoms. The thermal management was all over the place. I would check the fuses first. A bad fuse can affect the radiator grille and cooling system. It's worth checking before going to a mechanic.

Where is the fuse located, and which one am I looking for? Is it related to the radiator blockage or something else?

I do not recall the exact fuse number, but look in your owner's manual for a diagram. If the fuse is blown, it could be stopping the radiator grille from opening or closing correctly, which would affect the engine temperature.

Thank you. It was a blown fuse, as you suggested. Replacing it cost 52€. Everything seems to be working now. I appreciate the help.
