R Klasse Air Conditioning Problem

My 2005 Mercedes R Klasse with a gasoline engine has about 217483 km. The AC isn't cooling, and I'm getting an error about the rear ventilation flap. This is affecting the automatic climate control. Could it be related to rear passenger air circulation?

Interesting. I had a similar issue with my R Klasse. The rear AC stopped working, and it was a bad connection. Have you checked the cable and plug connection to the rear ventilation flap motor? That's often the problem.

Thanks for the tip! Where's that connection located? Can I easily check it myself, or do I need to take things apart?

It's near the rear climate control unit. You might be able to get to it, but I'd recommend a workshop for system diagnostics. My problem was a defective plug connection. The part isn't expensive, but finding the issue can be hard. Better safe than sorry. The repair and error memory deletion cost me 95€.

Okay, that sounds like good advice. I'll take it to a shop and have them check the connections first. Hopefully that fixes it. Thanks for the help!
