    Heater/Ac controller issues

    After 10 years off the road, I'm recommissioning my E32 Alpina B11 3.5.

    on test drive today, heater is blowing out windscreen demister by default whether the control unit is on or off. That being said, turning it on does nothing either, no AC, no fan control on auto or manual modes etc.

    Are there any relay's to start with before we move on to stupidly expensive stuff like control unit & sword etc?

    If the blower fan speed cannot be controlled, that is usually a sword problem, you can repair it or ask a electric shop to repair it

    There may be also some contact problems in the connections to sword, IHKA control unit and control panel. Spray all the contacts with contact enhancer. On the IHKA control unit behind the sword there are on each side 2 connectors.

    I merged your 2 threads to one, after you got 10 posts the posts will be shown immy, now is still a delay up to 10 posts, as a mod manually has to approve such posts, that is the socalled forum spam-o-matic, so just be patient
