Still trying to figure out everything on the 914 I've just been driving for the past year. I've searched the threads and read the Repair Manuals I have, but haven't found the following:
The Fan for for the Climate Control doesn't come on in I II III, possible causes?
Should the levers travel the complete distance of the three slots (the resistance appears to stop them short on both/either end depending on lever)?
Should the levers be aligned with each other when at either end (they don't quite line-up)?
Thanks!
For the fan, check wires leading to the control, and wires from the control to the motor. If these are ok it's possible that the motor is siezed. My problem was the wires on my controller were disconnected.
The levers just channel air between the windshield vents and the lower footwell vents. It's normal for these not to go to the very end of the slots.
The black lever is for the fresh air intake (through the front mounted fan).
The red lever is for the heated air from the engine. The heated air is controlled by the little red lever down by the gear shift. Pulling this lever to the rear should open up the flapper valves under the engine to channel warm air into the cabin. When the red lever is all the way back, there's a helper fan in the engine compartment which should switch on.
