ive got a 89 crx si and the temperature control **** is stuck. I took the button off and tried turning it with a pliers and it turns like 1/4 way and then sticks. Any ideas on how to fix this without taking the dash apart?

 

make sure the cables conneting to the temp control is not sticking or binding....there is a cable that runs under the glove box, and another one that runs all the way to the engine bay. if the **** gets stuck....most likely the cables are stuck...thats what happen to mine

 

When you say the cables are stuck, do you mean the cable is stuck in the cable plastic sheath? Did you replace the cables or is there a way to unstick them? Thanks for the help!

 

well when i took mine apart...the cables had some rust inside under the plastic sheath...so it was binding inside and not moving freely.....i just replaced mines...i went the junkyard and took two cables and replaced it.

 

yep that looks like it, I took the thing apart and the cables are binding. Do I have to use crx cables or do you use other types as well?

The other thing is i broke the tabs on my climate control box, it looks like **** now. are there any other honda temp control boxes that will fit the crx?

 

that i'm not sure...but it sucks cuz when i took out my cables i broke my climate control...and it looks like **** now but still better then a lot of others...i don't think there are others that are direct replacement but i read that u can make a accord one fit but u have to wire it and make it differently

 

dood i dont know how you are supposed to take out the climate control without breaking it. thats the exact thing that happened to me. now i'll have to search the junkyards i guess

 

good luck finding one...best bet is on here or ebay but all goes for $150+.....
