Ok-my problem is this..

If I put the fan on and then press the recirulate button,it shuts the CC off completely,but if the A/C is on and I press the recirulate button then it goes to recirculate with no problem..

So in a nutshell the REC only works if the A/C is on first and only whilst in A/C mode-If I then turn the A/C off it goes to outside/fresh air..I have done a diagnostic test with no errors present..

I removed my glovebox and saw a black cable with a knobby black cap face down in the middle (was behind the grey part-just moved for pic)

Also, a clear section of tube and black tube comming from the radio side but going nowhere...

Does anyone have any pics or may know what is wrong? I have searched with no luck and a trip to the wreckers proved fruitless...


thanks in advance...

Hi,
When you put your A/C on what button do you press first?
Try pressing the AUTO button and see if that work's for ya properly!!, then you can adjust to suit.
I haven't got any pic's, but the clear section of the black tube, that will be for your vaccuum ( i'm assuming).
Doe's anything look like it's been tampered with behind glovebox?, if not just try the AUTO button first.
Hope that help's you!!. :)

Cheers Jason. 8-)

the auto button works fine but as to wether or not it has been tampered with I don't know..I tried to get a look at the wreckers but either all damaged smashed or non climate control versions...

Hi mate,
Thats how it goe's, i just went and tried mine and pulled it apart to see what you were saying bout being too big at the nobby end, thats what the clear tube is for!!,
