I have a JDM 88 CRX ZC.


Backstory:
I wasn't getting enough heat during the winter, brought it an awful mechanic. Mechanic said the actual control unit was broken, quoted me at 95 charged me 135, actually charged me 315 dollars (this was all for the diagnostic). Anyway even though he miskeyed the amount I still believed it was the control unit which I didnt want it to be and bought one on ebay. Since it took 2 weeks for them to refund me the over charged amount I decided I would install it myself. So while taking it out I ended up breaking it which was a real loss as I wanted to keep the japanese buttons. Anyway after putting in the new one what a surprise! It didnt work and now I have no japanese buttons and am out the money I used to purchase the new control deck (which was actually in very good quality). Friend came back from Australia for vacation, told him the story he said it might be the motor (discontinued) that actually pulls the cable that pulls the valve or fuse.

Question
Where is the fuse for the motor that moves the valve that controls how much heat its putting out located? dash or under the hood?

 

Are you referring to the aircon motor that is located underneath the heater matrix? Or the motor that is controlled on the side of the heater matrix?

 

Check these fuses, I'd have to study my diagrams more to let you know motor specific.

No. 7 (10a)
No. 18 (10a)

 

What are you even talking about?

Did you not notice the cables coming off of the climate control? If you are talking about the heater flow control valve it is under the hood coming off the heater core. It is cable (manually) driven. Another cable controls the flaps positions for the blend doors...

 

I am not sure, I am talking about the motor that pulls the cable. Deck>motor>cable>valve. I will check your other post though thanks

 

I am pretty sure its not manually driven. This is what I have:

Based on the back of it being electric wires, I assume it would have to connect to a motor that pulls the cable and adjusts the valve.

I do not know if there is a fuse or not, but figured its eletrical and since everything else seems to have one it might too which is why it (motor) will not move the valve

 

I have a 89 DX and it has a manual cable that connects to the back. If you want more heat just pop your hood and open the valve all the way. First see if that fixes your problem because from my experience CRX's don't put out as much head as some of the others models around.

 

Yea I actually have to do that now currently. Mine does get insanely hot I just dont want to have to pull over pop my hood and move the valve to adjust the heat.

It should be noted that I have a JDM crx, so I dont have the manual twist ****, but "climate control" so there is no gear that pulls the cable manually when I turn it. In theory (if it worked) its suppose to make a motor do the actual cable pulling.

 

I would assume the fuse would be under the same circuit as all the other HVAC (blower motor, etc.) but that is just a guess. Also, find the motor on the assembly and apply 12v to it and see if it works. Troubleshoot man.

 

I gave you the fuses for the Auto Aircon (JDM) setup. I know what you are referring to as I have complete sets waiting to put in..
