#772 of 788 Climate Control Panel by dcwong1 Sep 05, 2009 (2:00 pm)
I have a '88 Legend L, which has a problem with the climate control panel (non-automatic heater control switch assembly, p/n #79600-SD4-A02 - I think this is the correct p/n). The left knob, which controls the fan speed, is very difficult to turn on and off. It is basically stuck in the same spot meaning I can't increase or decrease the fan speed.   I've looked on-line on replacing the entire unit. New ones run over $500. However, I found one on e-bay for < $100. Has anybody had issues with this part and is it difficult to replace. If I replaced the entire unit, does this solve my problem on turning the on / off knob or is their another unit behind this one? Any information would be appreciated. The car is extremely low miles for a 21 year old car (< 90K) and I would love to keep it. Replies to this message: jayofalltrade (Oct 22, 2009 5:13 pm)
#774 of 788 what to do with our Acura Legend 1987? by acurafan4040 Sep 14, 2009 (4:42 pm)
We have a very clean-bodied 1987 Acura legend sedan that has various mechanical problems. How can we best fix it up, or get it to someone with the know-how to get it fixed up? It has an alternator problem, transmission whining, and some sort of missing going on. Suggestions? Replies to this message: jayofalltrade (Oct 22, 2009 5:36 pm)
#775 of 788 Re: Type of gas that 1993 Legend should use [lhy] by blkjedi954 Sep 21, 2009 (11:03 pm)
Replying to: lhy (Mar 04, 2009 3:36 am) If you follow the manual, then yes. I have to say if you put 87, the car will run considerably rougher, that is, you will notice a difference in smoothness provided that your Legend is in good condition. So I'd follow the manual, and put the 93. But if you're struggling then 89 may be ok, but never 87!!!

#777 of 788 Flashing D4 by mbaber Oct 19, 2009 (9:04 am)
I have the flashing D4 along with erratic speedometer. Car runs fantastic otherwise. I am 300 miles from closest Acura dealer. I am a DIY kind of guy. What are the details on the speed sensor in the transmission? If it only cost $250 that would indicate the tran did not need removing so it sounds pretty minor.

Replying to: jimsmith5637 (Mar 28, 2009 12:59 am) 12 volts reading in your tester does not your battery is fully charges. The best way to check your battery without a tester is to turn on your head light on..a bright light means your battery might be good and then start your engine. If the head light dims then you battery is in low charge. Clicking sound means your car is ok, it just yur battery is discharges. . If your battery come out good or strong, then you need to replace your starter. Simple as that.

Replying to: SeattleB (Jul 21, 2009 7:14 pm) You have a low coolant/green liquid/anti freeze level..your idle air control motor is not warming up enough to re act to your current engine temperature. Possible cause, fluid hoses to the (AIC) air idle control is leaking. Make sure the engine is cold when opening radiator cap. If there is not leak then it is time to replace the (AIC) check all those small hoses for anti freeze and air vacuum.
