Hedgehog going bad?
 
Suspecting the FSU...car interior very slow to warm up! Yet it does warm up after 30 to 45mins.
Time for me to do my contortionist act to replace the thing[emoji57]

Good luck! I replaced mine a few months ago, in the hopes it would fix my fan problems…no luck. A dash removal is in my future at some point. I made it through this winter though, and since the fan only acts up (so far) in cold wx, I’ve got months to procrastinate!

Yesterday I did the circus freak contortionist act and pulled the panels from under the drivers side so I could run a wire from the headlight connector wire (switched power to the light control module) to my kenwood receiver to enable its auto- dimmer function. I’d tried a couple of easier light related wires to tap for this, with no luck. I was being lazy and avoiding the under-dash work. I think perhaps the other wires I tried were pwm, perhaps?

At any rate, works great now…light on and the unit dims…lights off and it goes to bright.
