|
|
Second time this has happened.
Went for a 25 mile drive heater off. Got home and about 30m later taking trash out hear the propex running.
Anybody have this experience? Seems to work normally otherwise.
Have I miswired it? Open wire somewhere possibly?
Might have to run it through my aux switch board as a master
On/off
Thank you. _________________ __________

Hi
Since you don't mention it: is the switch turned to off, and the thermostat set on Minimum? _________________ '90 Little Blue Truck, 2WD auto, FAS GenV 2.0 NA (AVH) |

there are no lights on the display illuminated. I don't think the temp is set to low - probably high, but will check ... are you saying it's reading the atmospheric temp and trying to adjust to that by calling for heat?
I went out and looked - no lights on. pressed the gas button, first temp that popped up was 85. i pressed down arrow to about 35 and then pressed gas button again. and it went off. Then 75 stayed on the screen assuming that is current temp.
My assumption is the unit was totally off when it turned itself on today.
thanks for your help! _________________ __________
