    Hi everyone, hope you’re all having a great weekend!


    I have a right-hand drive manual 412 that I absolutely love, but I’ve recently run into a couple of small issues and would really appreciate any advice or help.


    Long story short after a two-month restoration, the car was running perfectly. To celebrate, I decided to treat myself to a classic single-DIN head unit, so I took it to an audio specialist. Unfortunately, they’ve managed to ruin my weekend… Now the indicators aren’t working, and the ice-cold AC that was working beautifully before is no longer blowing cold just blowing air..


    I’ve checked the fuse box and can’t find any blown fuses, so I’m a bit stuck.


    Any help or guidance would be hugely appreciated!


    Thanks so much in advance.

    I just noticed that the AC pulley in the engine bay is struggling to turn properly…

    Maybe they damaged the sensing bulb that is fitted into the evaporator, it is under the rotary.knob,.just next to the car radio.

    Just try to bypass it in order to validate whether this makes the ac work again. Easy to replace if it is your culprit.

    The one with a snowflake just under the radio on the right. I do not know well the 412, but on the 400i, this knob is connected to a probe that is inserted between the fins of the evaporator. As you have dual AC, this one should activate on of the "defrost" valve that is next to the battery.

    As said if you shortcut the wires from the knob switch this should force the valve in the open position.
