Last weekend I stirred my 914 out of its slumber while it was still dark. To my wonderful surprise, lights worked- taillights, headlights, license plate lights, trunk light too... I was reminded that the radio and HVAC also light up!
Sadly, when I went to turn on the fan, to get air blowing into the cabin, I got nothing. No noise, no sparks, just quiet. So.. what are some suggestions to check - Contacts in the control unit? Fuse panel? What are the usual fail points? Do the motors seize up (not sure when it was last used) TIA. |

do the horn and lighter work?
I think they all share a relay, maybe wipers too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) cjl |

Might just need a fuse wiggle. That can happen when it sits a while.

most likely corrosion on the sliding contacts of the dash levers.
