R32 Airconditioning Not Working


Rekin

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a photo of the fan resistor? As my aircon turns on but doesn't blow air out of the vents... From what I can gather from reading this it must be fan resistor

You could check:

- interior fan blower brushes coz they may have worn out (this blower is what drives the air through the vents - underneath dash passenger side - more than likely the culprit as it was for me as determined by the auto eleccy. Maybe when AC is on, tap the blower (usually a black unit above the passenger legs under dash) and see if it suddenly kicks in.

- check if front cooling fan in front of radiator is switching on - check relay wiring. Just good to check. Check voltage to front fan switch

- check if pipes have a bubble - maybe a leak and low gas pressure?? I am guessing here but good to check anyway.

Mind you I have a GTST not GTR so don't know if the same setup or not.

Bump, my 32 takes forever to switch between positions..sometimes it will just go back and forth, or twitch the arm.

I've just pulled apart the module and there's white stuff inside? Like mayo?? Is this normal?

Edit: it actually seems like it can switch between positions, but the feet one likes to open as it pleases... I played around with the fan controls whilst I had it apart and I couldn't match up any button that made it spasm.

The cogs inside the module seem to not be lining up, easiest just to buy another one? Anyone know where to get them new?

White grease on the cogs is normal, I had the same thing when I opened up the temperature control motor. I haven't taken apart the vent mode motor so I'm not sure about how the cogs line up, but you can get a new motor through Kudos Motorsports.

Thanks heaps Sarumatix!

Turned out to be the plug in the center console giving me constant heat. I pulled my whole dash apart to fix the heater core and this is the one plug I forgot to plug back in. One side of the plug is attached to the same loom as the cigarette lighter. It has two wires, brown and green I think. Check this plug if you have been messing around with your dash. I'm so happy to get this fixed!

Did your plug look like this?

Plenty of R32 GTST's have a problem where the climate control only blows hot air or cold air.

Even whilst cycling through the temperatures, the air doesnt seem to change.

First step is to check if everything is fine with your climate control;

Follow the below steps, if everything is fine, your problem might be the connection to the blend-door servo motor (read further below)

The r32 has a common problem of the Blend Door Servo Motor to stop working. This is due to the connection to the motor becoming damaged over time.

Solution;

- Go to the passenger foot well area.

- look up where the feet air vent is.

- There you should see a metal rod and a plastic clip.

If the rod has fallen off, clip it back into position.

- Cycle through the hot/cold temp buttons on the climate control quicky and check if you can see the metal rod moving. This rod controls the blend door.

- If the rod doesnt move, then the blend door servo motor is the fault.

- Just before the metal rod, is a wire loom connected to a socket

- Wiggle the wire loom whilst pressing the temp up/down buttons. The Blend door motor will then respond and move.

- I used some cable ties to create some pressure on the loom.

This is just a temp fix, and will not last forever..

Best would be to replace the blend door servo motor and/or harness.

If anyone has replaced their blend door servo motor, please post in regards to how difficult it was.

Hope this has helped some r32 owners with their climate control problems ;)
