Contact: Robert (719-488-3597) robert_chur@yahoo.com The Tech Quiz answer is C. operate. If it works, check the ground circuit from the relay to the micro switch. Connect a test light to fuse #2 and relay plug pin #85. The test light should light up with the levers in the up position. If it does not, the micro switch may need cleaning and/or replacement. The fourth series of heaters spans from 84-89. In 1984, the earlier relay system was replaced by a control unit system. The control unit determines fan motor speed by inputs such as engine and vehicle speed as well as inside cabin temperature. Diagnostics for this system are more complex and, other than checking for blown fuses, should be left to a professional. Another boost to cabin heated air was made in 1984 with the installation of booster foot well blowers. Below the dash, on the far left and right sides, reside two small blower motors. These motors, in essence, supercharge the heated air in the cabin to provide an even more powerful blast of air to the defroster and foot well vents. These blowers are activated when the switch above the hand brake is turned on. When these blowers fail, it is usually due to lack of use. If the motors are not used, the bushings in the motor bind up causing an excessive load which will blow the fuses. The fuses are located on the outside of the foot well blower motors. If the motor does not work after voltage is restored, the motors will need repair or replacement. Tech Article continued from page 5 The fifth and final series of heaters we will discuss is for 90-97 911s. This final series of heating systems is completely different from the earlier ones. The heat from the engine is controlled by a set of back pressure valves. Their operation is quite simple. If a heater flap is closed in the car, all engine heat dumps out to the ground. However, if a hose inside the car falls off, the cabin will be filled with a full blast of heat. This is the usual problem with this late heating system: too much heat as opposed to not enough like in the earlier systems. As with the earlier systems, it is best to check all the hose connections, as well as all the fuses for the climate control system. After that, the checks are best left to a Porsche technician who is familiar with all the complex workings of the system. As you can see from this article, many of the problems with Porsche heater systems are with the blowers themselves. While replacement of these items is quite expensive, there are electrical motor rebuilders who may be able to repair them for less than half of the replacement cost. Give them a try. You just may get a warm cozy feeling from it.
