Hey whats up Guys?

I have a '98 323 and usually when I first start my car and turn on the heater, all of the lights on the panel, the blower and everything just shut off for a min or two and then they just come back on like it has a mind of its own. There is no consistant pattern. Sometimes it goes out and then comes back on, then goes right back out for a while.

Plus,
the heater takes forever to get warm, is that normal?

any answers would help out so much. Thanks.

hi there.

i have a 98 323, too. and guess what i know the problem. it is the climate control unit that just went bad.

you either try to fix it your own, i know there is a how-to somewhere (but not where) or take the car to the dealer and have the unit replaced. expect costs of 250 bucks, or in that area.
