Resolving a Couple of Issues

June 14, 2023 by Matt

So, tried to resolve a couple of issues this evening:

  1. The steering wheel controls (horn buttons, cruise) are inop.
  2. The airflow mode is stuck in bi-level. Mode buttons on HVAC panel don’t do anything.

All the fuses are good. Decided to swap over Megumi’s steering wheel, clock spring and blend door servo to see if that would make a difference.

Megumi in the process of disassembly:

Parts to swap over:

Blend door servo:

Blend door servo in place (just above the accelerator pedal):

And…airflow modes work now! Nice to hear that little motor whirring when I press the HVAC mode buttons.

Nori’s steering wheel cruise buttons were missing their print:

Megumi’s have it. Interestingly, Nori has a crotch vent where Megumi does not (the opening in the latter’s trim panel is blanked). I guess it’s either a feature delete between ’94 and ’95, or a Canada-specific thing:

So the steering wheel looks nicer, but unfortunately the horn buttons still don’t work. Will check cruise during the commute tomorrow. The investigation continues…
