Climate Control Issues
Hello. I have a 1994 SVX L, FWD. For the first few thousand miles, it's been great, however, right about when fall began, my Climate Control started acting weird.
First the fan would cut off then turn back on, and now I have no fan at all. About a week ago the fan turned on full blast when I turned the Climate Control back on on a whim, but quickly shut off itself. I have run the diagnostics on the Climate Control ,and am getting no error codes (or 13, sun sensor, when they're not ample sunlight.) The interesting thing is, when I cycle from 85°F, to 75°F, and finally to 65°F, there is a mechanical clicking of what I believe are the air mix doors moving. It doesn't matter what I place the fans on, Low, Medium or High, nothing comes out. Genuinely stumped, any help would be appreciated. |

Re: Climate Control Issues
On my (Black) 1992 LS, I've got some Climate control issues as well. Although I think I have a damaged mixer door, it's tricky to tell. If you've not already tried, see if "Def" makes a different. Try every setting in both AC/cooling and heating.
For me: - heat won't come out of the main vents - AC/cold will come out fine on any vents/settings - heat will come out in Def (out of the window defroster vents Living in California, just having heat coming out the Def vents if good enough for me, so I've left it as is. But checking those conditions may help you advance you diagnoses. Good luck! Ian. |

As for the original post, I would first suggest testing the fan and voltage going to it. I found a post about cleaning out the fan motor, it maybe worth a try. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ght=heater+fan For the clicking, there is are vent motors on each side of the heater core that push the vent doors into different positions, sometimes they get stuck you may need to clean an oil the tracks.

Re: Climate Control Issues
I got the AC working on my "new" (Pearl) SVX, heat does appear to be coming out of the upper vents on it. On my other (Black) SVX, heat comes out for 2 seconds then there a "shooowut" sound as some vent closes and then nothing at all comes out of the upper vents.
I've heard this is due to something melting in the mixer or something (and a get an error code pointing to the mixer door or something like that). If you get no heat out of the top vents, it might be worth checking the diagnostics. |

Re: Climate Control Issues
.
Here is the Climate Control Diagnostic procedure: http://www.svx-iw.com/svxiw/article/...php?article=85 Hot air should only come out of the front vents when the climate control is in the VENT position. From the FSM. OFF Mode
AUTO Mode (Temperature set at 65°F)
AUTO Mode (Temperature gradually changed from 65°F to 85°F)
AUTO Mode (Temperature set at 85°F)
ECON Mode (Temperature set between 65°F and 85°F)
DEF (Defrost) Mode (Temperature set between 65°F and 85°F)
VENT Mode
CIRC (Recirculated Air) Mode
OUT-TEMP (Outside Temperature) Display Function
