R32 buttons

[marcus32]

in my 1990 r32 GTS-T m spec i have a couple of buttons which i would like to know abit more about, the first is a button next to the steering wheel on the left side it has a picture of a small and large fan with a green light and the other is the button on the window switch block that flips the mirrors in, on mine only the passengers side is this right or are both ment to turn. thanks for any help

Ok, the first switch is also in my "Super-Hicas ' Silvia (an up spec S13).

Now I believe this to be a 'de-ioniser' with hi/lo fan setting. You can actually hear the fan spin when the ign is on (engine off, all ign lights on), and your parked in a quite area. Do you also have that big plastic hump on your rear parcel shelf?

Hope I'm right with this???? (I got this answer off these forums!!)

Secondly, with your 'fold-in' mirrors, they are both supposed come in/out at the same time!! (for sure!!) These things do fail sometimes.

You can actually try to service these yourself (they're expensive to replace, let alone find the right colour!!)

Tricky, but sometimes a good clean and wiring check sees them going again!!

Hope this helps, and the ioniser info is correct!!(?)

ok i'll have a look for this lump on the parcel shelf hopefully the fan works, maybe it was too noisy to hear it workin before, plus does that mean i have another oil resevoir for the HICAS in the boot or not. plus does anyone have any wiring diagrams for R32 just to help me out for the future. thanks

Hi M32.

Hicas and that switch have nothing in common....first up!! It's a 'comfort' type of control.

It was just that the 'super-hicas' variants tended to have these more up-market' extras, like that 'fan switch'.

No resevoir in the boot for Hicas.....that I've ever seen....electric, unless it's the earlier version (which you may well have!!) or 4WD?

Yep, a nice quiet location and you'll hear the whirring sound of the fan.!!

R32 wire diagrams are available on this site.....somehere!!

All the best and tell us what you see (hear!!)

Res in the boot on the right hand side usually an indication of Attessa 4wd system and it's the fluid for it.
