Yea, my a/c slash heater tip broke. It has always been difficult to switch temperatures so during the first Artic cold front I turned it with the regular amount of force and it broke. When I type "tip", I mean what the black knob actually grips onto(the white tip that protrudes outward). It hasn't been too bad since Texas weather fluctuates like no other, but it would be nice to have the heater when it's 40 some degrees outside. I've tried using pliers to turn it to let heat in but that only tore it up even more and now it's stuck in the middle. How does one actually replace such a thing?

 

some people have got theirs warrantied, or you can buy a used one on evom or ebay

 

It was 40 on monday, and 75 today. Wtf?!

 

get some used on ebay or some thing

and yea...up here in NYC the weather is worse

25-30 degrees one day and snowing...60-65 the next day and raining....IN DECEMBER?!...lol

Day After Tomorrow anyone? lolz

 

New Mexico weather is quite fickle as well. Dressing in layers is a wise solution.

Anyway, I would also suggest picking one up on EvoM classifieds or the screwlership. Its a cheap part brand new whichever way you go. OR You can get one new at the following link:

Im pretty his did the same thing and in that case he will need #16. He is talking about the white post the stick out from the controll where the black knob slides onto.

i went to the dealer to get one of these tips for my lancer oz rally and they said they only sell the entire unit.
since i was selling the car i dropped the 200 something bucks on a new unit and walked out pissed.

 

try moving to alabama...27 last week...70 this week...then back to 27...lol

 

if it broke you should pull the heater box and replace the damper door check TSB and then install a cabin filter if you don't have one already

 

I replaced the two levers on the heater box (down by the accelerator pedal). The improvement provided by the redesigned levers, while not as good as also replacing the heater box door, is enough to keep the knob from breaking. The new design levers cost about 15 bux and the heater box doesn’t have to come out. To pull the heater box you first must pull the dash.

So, if you have a early Evo with a heater knob that turns hard, get the new design levers installed and save yourself some grief.

 

try re-doing the cable. if u need a new module i got an extra for fifty bucks
