Hi All,

This is my first post as my many searches over the past few months have come up short. First, let me say thank you to all of you who provide insight and knowledge, as rookies like me couldnt enjoy this hobby as much as we do without you. I know I genuinely appreciate it and I am sure others do as well, even if they dont say it. With that said here are some questions I desperately need help with related to my 1978 924 (completely stock):

1. I have two dash lights out, the ones above the hvac controls and I cant seem to get them to come on. Same goes for the under hood light, glove box light, and rear cargo light. No dice. All fuses are new and in working order, new bulbs, etc. I have tested the rear cargo light and glovebox light with a volmeter and I think I have power, but still nothing. I havent tested the others since they are bayonet fittings and I dont know how to test them. Any ideas?

2. Heat......ugh, the heat is on all the time. The AC doesnt work in this car (gonna get it fixed next spring). I have lubed and checked the boudin cable, i have a new heater valve on order, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something basic. I have read the material on Clarks garage but it is really 944 centric and not all that helpful on a 924. The flaps moving from floor to defrost work, blower works, flap from outside air works, etc. Not sure about the lower outside air vacuum lines, the ones that operate the lower outside air flap on the 924, as I dont know how to properly test it and I cant see that influencing the amount of heat coming in the cabin.

Any and all help is appreciated!!!!
