    AC Woes

    My AC has been blowing hot air when I turned it on...so I checked out what going on with DIS and got the following below (see pics). I thought it might be the mixture wheel and bought a used one with the electrical connector then; when it arrived, I uninstalled mine (95M3) and discovered it had the bowen cable. So that was disappointing as it means searching for possibly a broken or disconnected wire as well as there might be the possibility of having to remove the dash...a thought that's not sitting well with me. I have marked the location according to DIS with a green circle on the electrical diagram below. Interestingly, there is no pin 13 or I haven't found it yet.





    It would really be pleasant to have AC when one lives in the south, so I hope someone experience with electrical components of the dash can guide me to a resolution. If I can get to a solution by just removing the glove-box would be awesome...I could change the cabin filter also while I am there.

    That's weird, you show you have the analog system, which funnily enough, has the electrical connector vent, while the motorized flap system uses a bowden cable.


    But I take it, it's the hot/cold dial on the panel that is giving the error, not the vent wheel.

      Thank you M_Parallel for responding...yes, I have the analog system as the photo below shows or unless there was a digital version that kept the analog appearance...that's why I had bought the the version with the electronic mixture wheel. Also, I should have also mentioned that I had replaced the water control valve before using DIS (I didn't have it then) and it seems to make it worst.



      I agree with you that hot/cold dial appears to be not grounded...that's why I am leaning to a wire might be disconnected.
