I have a problem with the heater control between the seats on my 1986 3.2 carrera
when operated it does'nt switch off it only stops when I remove the fuse turning the ignition off does'nt stop heater fan
 
I had this and forget exactly what caused it. I was either of these... 1. Adjustment. The servo motor needs to close the heater flaps near the rear wheels, it does this via cables. My car when purchased had these cables cable-tied so tight by an idiot that the system couldn't work. 2. Fusebox. In the engine bay on the left there is a removable panel. Behind the panel there is a fuseblock, this gets a hard time compared to the ones in the luggage compartment. You may need to renew it and the fuses. It is not outrageously expensive from the main dealer.
 
I went for the third option: Throw the servo away and go with the manual cs version with two little handles that always work!!!
 
How does that work in traffic Alex? Coming home from work is spent in traffic [:(] The automatic system works overtime in traffic constantly regulating the amount of heat.
 
i don't adjust it that much. The car has been on a bit of a diet recently. I've lost the cabin blowers, air distribution boxes, fresh air blower and wired the screen vents directly onto the heat. it's on either a little or a lot; having said all that, i don't have to deal with traffic on my daily commute. I also made use of the hole where the regulator thingy was to house my hazard switch as i don't have a center console either anymore...
 
I removed my console from my 930. I would've done the same in my 911 except it has the immobiliser thingy in it... My hazard light button is near my ignition key. I didn't know the later cars were different. Want to save some more weight and swap your G50 for my 915 ? [:D] My 911 weighed 1160kg with half a tank of fuel. You'll be wanting to get an electric heated front screen next [8D]
 
where did you get yours weighed? I've wondered if the scales at madingley mulch would be any good? I'm keeping the gearbox, spent a grand refurbing it and will need it for next engine .
 
Hehe I was only kidding about the gearbox, hence the [:D]. Did it work any better after the rebuild? I had my 911 weighed when I had the corner weights done on electric scales. I'm not sure how one goes about using a public weigh bridge. I had my 930 weighed at the scrap metal merchant off Newmarket Road, Swann Road industrial estate.Weighed 1225kg with very little fuel in. You could give them a call first and maybe offer them a fiver or something. I asked them when I took some scrap there. The only risk is maybe getting something stuck in your tyres [:'(]
