bah, petal has busted the climate control auto button by mashing it

its the second time we've done this to our car (first time, was teh day after we got it from street machines, so we just took it back and they fixed it)

i doubt they would do it for us nearly 4 years after we got it!@

whats the gizzo? can i just find another auto button from the wreckers and switch it myself?

or is there more to it than that?

its bugging me immensly that its not working already

i cant stand thinking about it :happy:

this guy is selling his whole interior at a cheap price

pretty sure this includes the climate control module.

I would buy the heater core off you if it came with :happy:

mmm, was hoping more just for a button purchase

jimmy out the old busted button, and whack the new one in

dunno about replacing everything

the aircon still works fine

You can try that the buttons are heaps weak they are hinged from the top with a thin piece of plastic you could probably even try to glue the hinge back together with a glue that doesnt set rock hard...I thought about it but it was easier to pay the $60 and bin the old one!

Either way I am happy to lend a hand

Oh and you dont have to replace everything it comes out as one box with a single plug on the back!

Who uses the auto button? The auto butting just equals full fan to the head... constantly... no matter how cold it is. I hate that button ;)

yeah whats with the auto button? what does it do or supposed to do other than full throttle

it works on mine, its supposed to chill things to the temp you set it at. Starts off at full, then steps down to 3/4 then half power for the fan... if your ones dont do this i'm guessing you need the temp sensor for the climate control replaced

yer, it works perfectly for me

when cabin is at temp, it just keeps it at whatever temp you have set it to

dan, write up on sau? ill have a look

doesnt sound too scary

i mite give this a burl

ok so instead of the aircon on all the time and making things arctic, it'll stabilise at 18 degrees?

thats actually kinda neat, mind you spring is nearly over and arctic is the only acceptable setting, but thanks =)

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
