Heat won't shut off completely 200 1993

Hello All,

The following post is from the 700/900 FAQ's. My question is whether this is the correct approach for my 93 245 as the vents leak hot air even when the heater control is off. On reasonably cool days, I'd like to open the vents to get fresh air. Thanks a lot for any tips you can offer.


Heater Won't Completely Shut Off Hot Air.

[Tip from John Sargent] 700 series, with manual temperature selection, have a reputation for not being able to completely shut off all of the warm air when the manual temperature selector is fully off. The problem is the flapper door in the heater is not fully closed. There is an adjustment for this in the cable, just behind the heater control. If you remove the glove compartment, you can see the heater controls. The cable on the bottom controls the flapper valve for heat. The adjustable part of the cable is at the heater control. If you see a larger part of the cable, about 3/8 inch and about 2 inches long, that is it. Turn that larger part of the cable until you can feel the temperature control knob moving off of its left hand stop. You are done!
