I’ve got the later, manual air distribution controls, which now seem to be stuck on dash only. Ever since I had the car all positions have worked except full demist, which just clicked so I guess a rod is jammed or broken. But now I get no noise from the dash at all when I turn it.

As I had to take the pod off yesterday to replace a warning lamp bulb in the dash (Major PITA!) I suspect I’ve disturbed something in the switch or wiring (although to be honest I have no idea when I last moved the switch off demist/foot wells so it could have been toast for a while.

Does anybody have a pin out diagram for the HVAC connector on the back of the pod so I can test it before taking anything else apart? The only diagrams I can find are for the auto aircon pods. Also is there a specific fuse or relay for the mode control flaps? I can’t see one in any of the fuse boxes. The blower works fine so I know the connector is going home fully and both A/C fuses are good.

Thanks,

Chris
