How does a dead battery impact the electrical system of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, leading to AC cooling issues?

The battery in my Mercedes-Benz E-Class died recently, and after jump-starting the car, the AC system is not cooling as before. Could a dead battery damage the AC control modules o r sensors, causing the AC to blow warm air? What electrical components should I check?

A dead battery affects the entire electrical system of the car, which can cause AC cooling issues in several ways:

Control Module Errors: The climate control module o r Body Control Module BCM may reset o r enter error states after a dead battery o r jump-start, causing incorrect AC operation.

Sensor Failures: Sensors that monitor cabin temperature, refrigerant pressure, o r compressor operation may stop functioning properly if the electrical supply is unstable.

Blown Fuses o r Relays: Sudden voltage s o r surges caused by a dead battery can damage fuses o r relays controlling the AC compressor o r blower motor.

Alternator Strain: When the battery is dead, the alternator tries to compensate, sometimes causing inconsistent power to electrical components.

Its recommended to check the battery health and ensure the electrical system is stable to restore proper AC function.
