I am having problems with my heater control, it sticks and will not allow full rotation to full heat. My car has been to the dealer once before, they replaced sometihing, it worked for awhile but only too fail again. I was wondering if other EVO owners had this problem and what was done to fix it.

Mine's still working but this is definitely an awful design. Not smooth, not consistent.

 

I 2nd that the dealer said its normal...

 

Mine sticks occasionaly, i just have to turn it the opposite way and then back again, and it works fine.

 

yeah, it is really crunchy... I ran my heater for the first time yesterday, and damn, that little guy kicks out the heat though!

 

well with all that heat billowing out of the hood, it's hard to believe that we can't turn the inside into a sauna..

 

it's apparently a common problem. i have it as well. there a few threads around here if searched for.

 

Yeah, I remember reading a thread where a EVO owner figured out what to do to fix it but I can't find it. I don't think it is normal, I mean my heater will not even go to full hot, maybe 3/4 the way and that is it. My dealer apparently feels the same way because they tried to fix it once. Thanks for the feedback.

speaking of controls, has anyone read the quick guide and noticed that on some settings the a/c will turn on without lighting the indicator. just a heads up because i'm sure a few people have made the mistake of racing with the a/c on.

 

my temp knob isnt like that, but the knob that controls where it goes to wont go all the way over to defrost..it goes just to right above, wont go full though like it should??

 

im having the same problem on the oz. its pretty difficult to turn at times

 

Haven't had problems with mine, but I can say the knob doesn't feel very consistent at all.

 

Whats with this Quick guide and when does the A/c stay on with no light indication? If i have my controls on off will it come on?

 

If you turn the temp control to full cold, the recirculation light will automatically turn on, I'm not sure about the AC light though. It's like a little dot even lower than the coldest setting that says something like MAX AC.

 

here's the picture, it says a/c will come on without changing the a/c indicator.



maybe i'm missing something but thats what it says.
