Hi Everyone,
Just bit the bullet and bought an NT Pajero today to finally save a bit on fuel - old Jackaroo was a great car but the fuel was killing us.
We have an odd problem though with the rear air con - two actually that I cannot find a solution to on any other thread.
First is that the rear switch for the aircon does not function - we can turn it on and off with the front control, but you can press the rear switch all day long but it makes no difference. I am wondering if the rear switch should have a click feel when you press it - ours is just pushing against the spring with no switch type feel to it at all.
The second is a more complicated problem. The rear air con does not adjust between the top and bottom vents. I understand that it should blow from the bottom on hot and top on cold - ours only blows out of the bottom regardless of where the temp dial is. I have taken off the covers to get to the rear air con unit and also taken out the switch unit to check things over. The variable resistor on the controller is functioning as expected when tested with a multi meter and the damper motor does turn when power is given directly to the motor (bypassing all other circuitry), but when it is all plugged together, the damper does budge at all (the damper flap moves freely when disconnected from the motor). It seems like it should be a very simple solution, but the more I get into the workings the more complicated the system is becoming.
I am hoping that someone else has had a similar issue and found an easy solution that could save me some headaches - I am almost ready to lock the damper into the most desired location, or remove it all together, and tell the kids to be grateful for some cool air in the back, but I would really like to fix it properly if at all possible.
