Then I think Nissan realized their design flaw and updated the pod for the 1991 model by including the button to adjust direction of airflow. Price is for 2 as pictured. They wrote up a very detailed description with many pictures on how to fix it. If this doesn't solve the problem, it would be wise to have a mechanic diagnose this to fix it before it turns into a bigger issue. The first generation, called the Z31 internally, featured five different engine packages: a 2. Price is for 2 as pictured. I am pretty sure it was designed that way because mine does the same thing.
Luckily I was not charged the diagnostic fee because they could not get the part. Was installed in engine compartment. There is the one that switches airflow to the different vents, one that opens and closes the heater core valve to let hot coolant flow through the heater core, one that moves a door to direct air to flow through the heater core to heat the air or bypasses the pathway to the heater core when using the air conditioner. This is only half the story. The automatic climate control system is super complex and a lot of engineering went into it.
Air, along with other harsh elements, can get through the small holes and penetrate the system. This is in near perfect condition. There are 4 little electric motors that work in unison with the climate control. This is in near perfect condition. So about 30 to 40 man hours was put into this project.
Your buttons are both fan speed buttons one of yours makes the air blow faster and one makes it blow slower , and on mine, there is one button that cycles through fan speeds and the other button would be the one to select the vents. After doing some research I found out there are two different versions of pods. . Now the manual system I have no idea about. Additionally, all five engine options were electronically fuel-injected for reliable efficiency. Once the cover is removed, remove the 6 phillips head screws holding the circuit board to the control pod. For the passenger side pull handle, please indicate if you need the round or diamond shaped plug.
It notched several wins in the 1986 Trans Am series a scant two years after release. On yours, there's no way you can adjust where the air goes. It is conveniently and aesthetically placed in the factory Oil Pressure Gauge location, the factory Boost Pressure sensor location, or both and allows you to display your sensors with your design, or a commonly shared design. Then I think Nissan realized their design flaw and updated the pod for the 1991 model by including the button to adjust direction of airflow. It finally came and i installed it, but, it did absolutely nothing! It is to their credit that they did more than an amazing job of it. As I mentioned, as preset cabin temp is approached, less and less warm air is mixed to the face vents and eventually, the face vents can get quite cold. The little digital image of the person sitting on a seat that shows the direction of the airflow was all jumbled up and didn't look right.
I had someone help me and together it took us about 15 to 20 hours or so to completely disassemble the dash, replace the motors and put it all back together. I thought the digital display was just going out or something. The types have been classified into two basic groups. It is a 1990 300zx 2+2 with the automatic climate control. For the passenger side pull handle, please indicate if you need the round or diamond shaped plug.
After doing some research I found out there are two different versions of pods. I also thought it was my climate control pod. Can someone please go outside with a multimeter and check if they reading a voltage when car is off? You could probably do it in a weekend if you spent every waking minute working on it. So I guess technically you could interchange the two digital pods if you don't mind having a messed up display, but you definitely can't interchange a digital pod with a manual. If I were you, sorry to say this, but I would hurry and sell the car and let the next sucker deal with the problem. I have sold 300zx parts on eBay since 1998.
Where should I check for leaks? What you will need: -10mm socket wrench -Phillips head screw driver -Flat head screw driver or pick -1000 grit sand paper anything higher than 1000 should work -Dielectric grease -Paper towels or a shop rag Estimated time: 20 mins. I found a couple of issues including some servos and temp sensors not connected at all and the overhead temp sensor fan not turning. Here is a link to the courtesy nissan site with an illustration of the parts. So I guess technically you could interchange the two digital pods if you don't mind having a messed up display, but you definitely can't interchange a digital pod with a manual. Differences between the two versions: 1990 version: can't adjust airflow between feet and face vents, has ambient temperature gauge tells outside temperature 1991 and up version: button was added to customize direction of airflow, ambient temperature gauge was removed And to answer all the questions about whether the different pods are interchangeable.
