After I had my mono valve bypassed for nearly 2 months, I got to replacing the inner diaphragm today.

Now if only I could get the vent buttons to work properly...
I replaced the monovalve with a new one and it changed nothing on my 90 350SDL, but I have a different problem: when I push the defrost button, I get a flood of heat, but none of the other bvuttons do anything and the fan control does nothing either. I'm thinking multiple problems.

I took out the non-working radio and found that the wiring had been previously butchered by the owner previous to the seller of the car (therefore, at least two owners ago).

I don't think I have an electrical problem or the fan would not work at all, I'm betting some kind of vacuum problem, but I need to get into the dash and find the stuff. Plus I need some diagrams, both electrical and vacuum.

This is for later in the year, when the weather is not storming and my building is set up. I can drive the 240D to work and take my time on this one.
