Hi, the 9000 AC/Heater wont shut off in my wife's car. The only way seems to be by pulling the fuse. Is this a sign the auto climate control unit needs to be replaced?

If the fan is always running at high speed, it isn't the ACC unit. This is the failure mode of the fan speed controller - a separate part that is near the air intake behind the false bulkhead (under the hood, right side). The fan speed controller costs about US$150 vs. about US$700 for the ACC unit.

1991 9000TYou're right on the diagnosis. But I think the fan speed controller can be had new for about half of the price you quoted. As for the ACC, it is expensive. But I never had one died on me. I'd as soon get one from Ebay if it does. The price is unbelievable.
Thanks for the info. I am checking some places around the net and should hopefully find a cheap one soon. Was this unit basically installed in most of the 9000s with the ACC? Or do I have to look for just specific years/models when calling junkyards?

to see what is offered. Apparently there are two types of controllers. 86 - 91 model years use part # 9629106 and sells for US$128.80. 92 - 98 model years use part # 4632477 that sells for US$104.00. I thought both units were electrically interchangeable, but the newer model has a larger heat sink that may not physically fit in the older models.
