944s hot air stuck on

[christaylor1983]

I have a 944s 1988 e reg, the problem im having is the hot air blower is stuck on inside, there is nothing i can do to change it to cold air and there is a constant flow of hot air coming through, at the moment i can only redirect the air to the dash vents, please can someone advise me what I can do to fix this problem, thanks

buy a second hand heater control untit (of ebay or off someone like Douglas valley) and get your local garage to fit it for you, same thing happened to me a few years ago, was no big deal to get the thing changed.

Hi
I have the same problem, when i took my car into have some work carried out on it the heater cable got twisted & stuck on hot, at that time my electric windows jammed shut also
Now i have my windows working, i do the same as you & shut all my vents off, when i took my car to Northways Mike looked at it & turned it as far on the off as he could, but still quite warm in there !!

very common problem. Normally caused by a small plastic clip behind the glove box. I dont have the direct link to hand, but if you go to clarks-garage.com (very useful link for anything to do with 944s) and have a look at the garage manual, you will find all you need to know. Assuming it is the clip that has broken, you can get them dirt cheap from OPC.

thats right Steve, but if it is not the clip check the vacuum connection opens and closes the valve when you increase and decrease the heat setting. The valve is in the engine compartment with the 2 small hoses connected that goes into the bulhead and it works via vacuum so there must ne no split hoses in the induction system either.
