The little legs to the potentiomèter (French keyboard predictive text) get loose from their soldered joints and cause bad feedback relating to their position and can be soldered. It may well be just the case. 👍
I've got one left that I got off kermie then I'm out. I changed a pot a while back but I can't remember if it was this blend motor or the distribution one above it. I'll have to search my posts to see which it was I was whinging about.
Wanna flog...
I was thinking maybe a stiff flap was causing a motor stall and not a blend motor issue at all. But the motor wouldn't run when off the box so that's that. Found a 9v battery for testing tomorrow, unless it's peeing down which is expected...
Hang on - will check my spare heater box in the garage.
Levers fully towards driver, air goes through the heater matrix. Fully towards engine cooled air bypasses matrix.
I thought I might struggle to get at the box lever with the clocks plugged in but it's possible I've discovered. Started her up, ac on and moved the lever one way then the other until I got cold air. Its towards the engine for cold.
The missis...
i can't remember. when mine was broke i put a bit of wire on the tang where the manual cable would have fitted and then wedged it in a gap in the kick panel to stop it moving.
if you're stuck for time, just turn the blower off completely and set...
I've chickened out. I need to pick the missis up in a couple of hours from work, don't need any disasters!
110 is off the road waiting on bits.
I'll wedge the box lever to 'cold' and roughly fit the clocks back so I can still use it. Do you know...
honestly i dont know. never needed to unplug the dash binnacle to touch the blend motors.
however, i think it *should be ok, just as unplugging an airbag (under the seat) while driving doesnt set it off. you will get an error in the system, but...
Decided to brave the heat and strip it down. Question if I may...
I've got the clock cluster unplugged and out. Ign has been off for a couple of hours, is it safe to put the ign on to fiddle with the , now removed, blend motor? Or will the srs go...
Cycling the ign didn't work , then the blower wouldn't speed up then I remembered that I hadn't put 'back to ecu control' on the nano but then the blower speed started to respond without plugging the nano back in again. Might strip it all down...
Cycle the ignition a few times without starting. On mine I can usually hear the motors moving after a while. The docs say it self-
calibrates every X hundred uses, but who knows what the real number is !!
Nano says the pot is duff. I've tried forcing it with the nano but getting no % movements. I remember unplugging the hvac last year, I think, which fixed something that wouldn't work. iirc, all motors were working as they should but the book...
Yes it's the bottom one.
It's a long shot but try unplugging the power to the hvac to force a learn cycle. Failing that, flash the relevant motor terminals with a 9v battery (both ways) to give it a nudge
AC was regassed a couple of weeks ago, lovely..until today. Book came up, heat on full drivers side, passenger side cool, both set to low on the hvac. Cycling the ign didn't cure it so I had to carry on, 2 hrs round trip getting cooked.
Back home...
Last year I put vacuum on my Blue P38 AC system, but didn't get round to having it gassed. Re-checked to day & it still has full vacuum, so hopefully gonna get it done this week. Green P38 AC is nice & cold, so that one is getting used...
By 0800hrs I had washed, waxed, and put resin on her. Also sprayed tyres, wing mirror housings, little bit of black on bumper. Even took the cloth with some spray and went into grooves of rubber seals.
She be pretty. 😁🚘💖
For a week or so old gals been a bit hesitant on pulling away especially uphill. Cut a long story short narrowed it down to MAP sensor. Had a discount code for the bay so ordered a brand new one for £27. Fitted yesterday and the difference is...
