Hi guys

Well im doing a bit of research for a temp fix on the heater in zebedee. The temp control has never worked but the fan works fine on all speeds. Lee dent did a bit of troubleshooting last time she was there relays all good fuse box ok no wet the control pod swapped out for another with no change to problem so we think its the motor that controls the air gate thats gone. As the temp is stuck on full hot it makes driving in warm weather even with everything switched off quite uncomfortable so i want to try and get under the dash and manually pull the air gate into a cooler position.

Does anyone have any photos or info as to where the gate and motor is so i have an idea how to attack the job.

Ian, do you have the "HA" (heater and AC) section from the FSM?

Are you able to put the system into diagnostic mode and try each operation step by step.

Maybe that way you could possibly isolate the offending item.

ConZult can perform diagnostics and tests (including air mix, outlet and intake-doors) on the Auto AC system.

Its the Manual system unfortunately however ill put a flexi cam up the back of the unit in the footwell and have a look

What your looking for is not a flap but the water shut off valve on the matrix.

 

It is located approx adjacent to where your left foot sits, you will need to strip out the panel under the steering wheel then the two ducts and then onto the small control unit, once that is out you will need to remove the module bracket and then finally the black plastic cover over the valve.

 

The valve is hard cable activated with the outer case held in a clip, if that clip has come off the valve cannot operate, likewise there is a spring return and if that has come off then again the valve will not close properly. If both are in place as a work around you can manually close the valve and leave it that way but you would need to disconnect the operating cable.
