Heater Control Unit

Post by Willen »

Does anyone know if replacing the heater control unit on a model 93 MX3 with the one from a newer model will be a straight fit?

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely not. The newer style uses electronic actuators to adjust the heat flow, etc. It requires swapping the front and instrument panel wiring harnesses, as well as adding the electronic actuators to the blower unit.
