fan only blows extremely hot air

I just bought a a 92 Accord DX. After the car has gotten to normal
temp- the fan only blows EXTREMELY hot air. Even if I turn on the A/C
and turn the temp setting all the way to cold, it still only blows the
hot air. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Matt

Start with the diagrams at www.slhondaparts.com or majestic honda and
follow the water valve cable where it goes under the hood. One end or
the other is probably disconnected.

You could sell your car for big bucks where I am tonight. -25 C, and
very windy.

Matt, the 92 Accords were known to have very tight temp control knobs,
and over time the knob breaks. I had to replace mine every few
months. To check, grasp the temp control knob firmly and pull it.
Once the knob is off, closely check the back plastic stalk. If it has
a crack in it, the inner metal D-shaped ring can spin. Replace the
knob (cheap fix) - or what I did was switch knobs from the fan control
and temperature control (even cheaper fix).


I hope your fix is this easy - and I'd be willing to bet that's your
problem.

 

The DX model likely has horizontal sliders rather than knobs.
