Posted by Steve on January 24, 2001 at 10:32:10:

It is an 1980 - 320i. The "round knob" on the right side of the center console which controls the heater air flow directions has failed. No matter which way you trun it, the air comes out of the foot-well. Is there a mechanical repair or electrical repair? Where to start for repairing? Do I need any parts or special tools? If you have any experience, please post your suggestions or email me.

Another minor but annoying problem: whenever I turn on the blower and left it on position 1 or 2, it started to squeak like there is a little bird living inside the dash. It goes away when I turn the fan speed full blast. Any suggestions where to lubricate. Thanks.
