The 944 has an annoying feature where the heater fan blower stays on even when on "0". It wouldn't bother me so much except it has a tendency to flatten my battery if I leave the ignition on "On" with engine off (racing battery). Possibly something to do with the resistor pack sucking a lot of power?

Is there a way to actually turn this off on "0"?

funny you mention this, I was diagnosing a no start tonight on the NA (its running now--the fuse box is flakey) and had the ignition on for a long period of time, and was wondering about this myself.

Subscribed to this thread. Most people have the issue where the resistor pack is crusty and 1-2-3 fan speed settings don't work, only setting 4 does.

You'd have to add another switch inline to the fan switch wiring to turn it off completely.

Why do you leave the car "on"?

i can get mine to shut off all the way if i turn the switch just right between 0 and 1. I do it for the auto-eq on my stereo, when its measuring the cabin i don't want the fan noise messing with the eq curve.

I read once that you can accomplish this if you pull one wire out of the harness to the resistor pack (the wire for 0). IIRC. Or maybe that was for a 928.

Yes, the brown/blue wire

Me too would like to know ?

Left in "on" position when fault finding. Battery went flat after 15-20 mins in the "On" position.

I might try the brown/blue wire solution to see if that "fixes" it.

Thanks
