On mine, if I tried to call for a high fan in heat position, the front blowers would kick off. Hopefully, yours won't do that being a completely different unit without the A/C.

I did the jumper trick and with my '90 model (and the 964 659 047 00 CCU) it works fine. Dash fans keep running when I up the temperature.

I'm stumped. I tried the jumper method on my '90 C2 with AC, CCU 964 659 047 00, and the AC fuse kept blowing. I just installed the relay based on SunLion's post in this thread (thanks SunLion!), and every thing seems to be in working order. https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...olution-5.html I need to drive the car to see if there are issues with the fans cycling, but I can't wait to pull that blower motor out of the rear and shave off another ten pounds!

FWIW I pulled the blower on my May 90 build C2. Installed the jumper relay mentioned in the thread and everything works great.

Strange, drove the car a couple of times since the bypass install and front blowers work fine. Enough heat without the rear blower (mind you, it's been between 5 and 10 degrees celsius overhere the past weeks so no arctic circumstances :-) )

Twelve degrees here yesterday, and the heat works perfectly. Two newly installed front blowers help. Ten pound weight savings, however, was illusory. The blower motor weighs 5 lbs. 14 oz. RS bypass duct weighs 1 lb. 2 oz. for a net weight reduction of 4 3/4 lbs. But any weight reduction at the rear of the car is a plus, and the engine bay looks much better.



12 degree day in New England, plenty of heat


Rear blower motor weighs less than 6 lbs.


Clean engine bay

Default Dummy load to CCU

DavidWhite -
how did you add the Dummy Load to the CCU to get it to run without rear blower or relay bypass. Really need a little help.

My car came with the heater bypass and when I hit the defrost button, the fans would blow on high for a few seconds and then shut off. I then installed the bridge relay (964-610-184-00) in the engine compartment and the defrost now works perfectly.

Thanks kindly for your answer, greatly appreciated. Found the answer I was looking for after looking at wiring diagram for 2 days and running a few test. You just need to feed 12 volts to the yellow/green wire on the back side of the CCU to by pass.
again THANKS
