Alright, I'm tired of burning my leg on the drivers side door sill in the summer. Can I just disconnect the hose from the drivers side heat exchanger without causing any issues? The solenoid motor on the drivers side works correctly but the entire door sill gets extremely hot in the summer as it's closed and heat does not escape. No issues like this on the passenger side. I live in southern California so heat is not a big requirement even in the winter months. I figure heat only coming from the passenger side should suffice.
Thanks

 

I can't say I've ever had this issue. Are your sills really that hot?

 

Oh yea it is. You can feel quite a bit of heat emanating from the drivers side sill when driving and the seat belt is quite warm to touch if it retracts back into the door such as stopping for an errand for 10 minutes. Nothing like this on the passenger side. Also I wear shorts in the summers, so no pants to protect when my legs brushes against the sill. If I do anything more than brush the sill it will burn my leg.

 

Also have never noticed this.

 

When the heat is off, the hot air is supposed to dump out of the vale next to the HE. I would check to see if that's working properly, obviously the passenger side is.

 

Your car is broken. That is most certainly not normal. Your mixer or your CCU are not right.

 

I'd also say heat is mandatory for defrost in winter.

 

Are you sure you not posting about your bike on here instead of Harley Forum by mistake?

 

No faults with respect to ccu and servo's. I had the servo out and work just fine connected to the ccu as well. Is they're a way to test the dump value as mentioned previously? Also going back to the original question, is it possible to just disconnect the heat tube from the exchanger to the door sill on the drivers side without any ill affect? If so does anyone know of any instructions for this. The passenger side will still be connected to provide some heat.

Thanks

 

Yes, except in San Diego.

 

To disconnect the the hose from the dump valve to the interior of the car, you have to go under the car anyway, so why not check the valve while you are in there. It's just as easy to fix it right, as to Mickey Mouse it. ��
Looks like you have a pretty nice car there, very well modded, keep up the good work.

 

I live in So Cal and have never, ever, had this issue. Definitely something wrong with your car.

 

Why not fix it correctly?

Yes, in San Diego. Many a Saturday morning run in some parts of the year were cause to have a defroster that worked, Even in my old modded 84, I made sure it worked.

My thoughts, exactly. A visual check of the flapper is pretty easy.

 

I'm more perplexed that there's "no" heat on passenger side/sill where oil lines run.

 

Wtf?
