I have a 94 integra GSR, and my cold/hot slider is hard as hell to move. sometimes I think I'm gonna break it off. I got into my friends 95 and it slides really well. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it? TIA to anyone that can help me.

 

don't know how to fix it, but mine is pretty damn stiff as well.

 

Its tough to describe, but Im sure there is a way to lube the cable. All that cable does is move a door that covers the Heater core, or opens it up to allow the air to pass through it (heat).

Look under the pass side dash, towards the middle, you should be able to see what Im talking about.

 

Thanks, I'm gonna look at it in a bit.

 

Thats what I was gonna say....

 

my slider is also a bitch to move. its by far the worst out of any car i've tried. please post any success in making it easier.

 

I saw what you are talking about, but I disconnected the cable and it was easy to move. I'm thinking it's the other cable. a little harder to get to. do you guys think WD-40 would work? I'm at work so I haven't tried anything yet.

BTW thanks for that advice, i'm a little closer to solving my problem

 

My AC/Heating **** has been broken for 6 months now.

mine works great

 

mine has been broken for a year.. haha..
i have no ac anyways..

 

Maybe try lubing the door???? where it pivots? WD-40 will work, but its too viscous (liquid like), not to mention the smell.

I would try the Lithium spray...

 

Mine's really hard to move from cold to hot, but vice versa is easier... not what it should be, but easier none-the-less. Please let us know if you have any success.

If you have removed the AC controls before you need to make sure the cable gets routed back down correctly to the door switch.
If that is not correctly routed that is the problem, too much bending. If not try a spray gease insaide the cable.

BTW I have an extra AC conrtols if you broke yours. Make offer. please

Oh! good point!

Make sure the cable is in its "clip" holder! Right before it terminates there should be a clip that holds the cable.

 

I guess I have to check the "top" portion. the clip is on the bottom part. I actually un hooked it from the moving parts and the slider move's pretty easy, I guess it's all under the dash. I guess since everyone else is living with it, so should I

 

I'm always afraid mine is going to break. My previous Integra had the same problem so I just figured it was supposed to be hard to move?

 

i installed my jdm climate control, and before it was to move..now it moves too freely and i don't get any heat or any cold out of it...i took out my ac..but it should still be blowing hot air...im gonna take it to the dealer...anybody got any idea on how i can get this thing to work correctly?

 

yea mine is the same way. i have to push it hard to "break" it loose, and then is slides fairly easy to where i want to set it.
