I have a 1997 boxster and think my climate control is malfunctioning, When in auto it blows through top and center vents. Can someone please tell me how to remove the climate control switches in dash?

I have a 1997 Boxster when A/C in auto the air blows out of center vents (this is ok) but it also blows out of defroster vents and it fogs up windshield. If this is normal (I doubt) how do I fix this problem? Please help if you have the anwser

err.... don't you just unclick the up button on the AC console to close the defroster vents? If that's not working, then you have a problem. Probably a failed motor or jammed valve door or something.

When the A/C is in Auto when you change any funtion on the controls you take the A/C out of auto and when just center vents are selected it still blows out of defroster. when bottom vents are selected then it doesnt blow out the defrosters. can the auto switch be the problem and if so can it be cahnged out?

When the switch fails, a common symptom is that the radio doesnt automatically switch off, you may also notice the lights do things like appear not to be on but are in park mode (not bright) and the spring back doesnt work or it feels reversed, that is when swicthing off it wants to "spring off" the OFF position . You may also have remore locking problems depdning on the security system fitted to the car, mine has an aftermarket system and I couldnt lock the car.

Point to note is if this happens the car is "powered up" and if you leave it for a few days you could end up with a dead flat battery.

Do you have to have the switch rekeyed to use your existing keys? How hard is it to DIY

Is the brightness of the digital readout of the MPH dim just like the OBC or is the MPH brighter than the OBC display?

if not, the brightness adjustment is the knob between/above the RPM gauge and MPH gauge, twist and hold it to the left to brighten the display.

If that doesnt work, you likely have a burnt out light bulb in the gauge assembly. to replace that, look for directions on how to remove the cluster from the dash.

No just the area where the settings for OBC are. Do you know if the LCD is backlit? Thanks for offering the help

I just bought this 1997 Boxster its in great shape but I cant see the OBC I can make out that it is working when toggling between functions if I get right down to it. Is there some way to turn the bnrightness up on this feature?
