So I was replacing the temperature control slider on my heater control assembly. I noticed the cable that links it to the heater assembly was really tight. So much that you can't move the slider at all.

Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix it ?

- Wed Feb 26, 2014 1:51 pm #343052 I found the source of the problem. The cable was bent to death. No wonder the previous owner broke the slider while trying to set the temperature.

I managed to set the cable to medium heat. That should do until I get a new cable. I am not looking too forward to taking the dash apart to replace the damn thing.

Maybe I just have to take the glove box off, at least I hope so.

- Wed Feb 26, 2014 4:00 pm #343060 I'll see when I get to it since it will be my first dash removal but I noticed that if you don't have good tools, some screws are near inaccessible.

Well I am looking forward to it. Learning to get around the civic though it was painful for my hands today, it still was fun.

Thanks for the fast reply this morning !
