Could you specify the exact fuse location you are referencing? The electrical schematics for this particular model year can sometimes be less than transparent.

Honestly, I can't remember the exact location right now. It was some time ago. If you've already got an error code and you suspect a broken wire, you're probably better off taking it to a workshop. They will have a better chance to diagnose the issue.

Following your suggestion, I sought assistance from a qualified technician. As suspected, a corroded connector was indeed the root cause. The connection was cleaned, the error code cleared, and function restored. Thank you for the advice.

I had something similar happen on my V Klasse. Did you check the fuse for the heater element? It's a simple thing, but easy to overlook. Could a blown fuse cause the error code?
