Hey all .. just wondering, How do you reset, or put into TEST MODE the climate control system on EA-ED's fairmonts/fairlanes? ..

Got a case of one just blowing though dismister, and Thinking it might be to be reset before I start pulling it apart ..

cheers.
antony.

hahaha a vacum leak by the sounds of it...
u wanna fix ours for us while ure at it
have you check the car manual. because i know that in the ef/el it is written down

it's most probably either the green or black vacume lines near ya window washer bottle or under neth ,check them both ,if one of them comes off it defaults to defrost mode

Nah, its not that, first thing I checked, Something do with with it needed to be re callabrated ... I know someone knows how to do it ... but who? ...

The only calibration is for the blend door motor.

I'll grab the procedure for the reset/diag out of the manual tonight for you. Its something like AC OFF/DEMIST and one other button all held down.

To get the self test:

1. Ensure engine is warm
2. Turn the ignition switch to 'on'
3. Press the floor and off buttons at once & release
4. Entire display will light up
5. The display will show 88.8 during the self test
6. When the self test is complete, and if the system checks are ok the display will read OFF (EA) or it will blank (EB2/ED). If there is a fault, it will read 'E' and a number 1 through 7.
7. Rectify the problem then clear the self test memory by initiating the self test twice. To exit the self test and restart the system, push the auto button. Test should be deactivated before shutting the system off.
