Heater controls.... again!!

[JayGT 0]

Well i had a stab at fixing my heater controls, i replaced the unit as it was knackered and the directional dial refused to move.

 

Now all i get is hot air!?

 

What have i done wrong?

You must have hooked the control wires up wrong or something .. Can't really say exactly what you might have done wrong, but you've pretty much no choice but to remove and refit it (again) to try and find out .. :)

At a guess it sounds like the metal clips that retain the outer part of the cable is not fitted correctly, this would allow selection of full hot as this pulls the cable put pushing it again just sends the whole cable, inner and outer, back so no cold selection.

Is there anything you dont know Yan!?

 

That sounds like you might be right as thats what was happening when i was testing it... the whole lot was sliding about

 

Is the whole lot not supposed to move then?

1st question, yeah loads ;)

 

Second question nope, just the inner metal bit not the outer blue bit is suppossed to move.
