I just got a 1986 190e. The ac seems to work but when I turn the fan on the compressor shuts off. Am I doing something wrong ?

Nope. You have a problem. Next question?

Question. How does the compressor work with the fan off? Every car I’ve seen, the compressor stays off until the fan is turned on.
