I fitted a passenger airbag to my wagon recently, and even with that access, I'd say it would be too difficult to get to the blend door motor.
I doubt you'll get around without pulling the dash to do the job.

I've ruled out heater tap so I'm guessing its one of the above things. Cheers, Nathan Dude, you turn the key to on, press mode and off at the same time, all the displays icons will light up for 20 seconds, than it will come up with the E code. It says that doing the reset can fix the problem, but if its a mechanical type thing your in the same boat as me. E2 is what i got and thats the blend motor. than you press auto to resume normal operation. When you first turn the key on , does the climate control screen flash 3 times?? that means something is screwed up.. I got a warranty that should fix mine, but im only covered for $300, and the motor cost $190 +gst (peter warren ford) which dont leave much for labour costs. but im freezing in the mornings, and my little one is cold, so i guess it has to be fixed. I even did the car computer reset, take the battery off for a hour, turn the key on for 5 min, turn it off, turn it back on not started.. floor the throttle and put in drive for 2 minutes, turn off and run for 5 minutes, that didnt fix the problem, but the car does seem to run better!!

Mate if you unplug the climate control unit at the rear then you'll be right for a few days. |

Unplugging it won't fix it, it'll just stop the A/C from running and you freezing your nuts off until you get it fixed. Only problem you will have is if the windows fogs up. You take the radio surround out, take the plastic that runs from under the radio around to the instrument cluster out, unscrew the climate control module and unplug it.
As far as not having the buttons illuminated, they will only illuminate when your lights are on. If they aren't then either bulbs or wiring will be the culprit. |

I might pull the climate control out and have a look at the wiring/ globes, i have to turn the interior light on to see the buttons...

Yes there is a lot of interest. I've been offered $180 for them I doubt it will go any higher.
System? Do you mean the exhaust? Might be a bit hard to post. |

Yep definatly not the heater tap, it opens and shuts on its own when the temp cranks up and down.. plenty of vacume
Its going to mechanics tomorrow, but my warranty only covers up to $300 on aircon. I bet its going to cost a fortune!!

I have found a shortcut (from another forum) to (temporarily) fixing it. Remove the dash facia panel, and unplug the climate control unit, get two small jump wires, and locate the 4 larger pin contacts in the loom plug. Connect one each of the 2 bottom contacts with one each of the 2 top contacts (opposing ends of the plug), switch on ignition for a second or 3. DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE UNIT STILL PLUGGED IN! You should hear the motor drive. If not, swap over one end of the jump wires, and try again. If you hear the motor drive while connected, switch everything off again, remove the jump wires and plug the climate control unit back in and see how it goes.
If you cant get the motor to drive by the above method, then it is probably the motor itself which is faulty. I think this is reversing the motor to get it to go back to its original position??

I think you will find the computer homes the blend door motor itself when you perform a reset.

Im quoting myself..but .. this works!!! My heater is fixed, and the E2 is gone!!!! see how long it lasts..

I did once, went for a drive.... changed the temperature a few times...
and of course it s**t itself again... I pulled it apart again, did the same thing... And played around with it a bit.. I found changing the temperature fast caused it to s**t itself. So what i have done till summer, set it to 28 degrees, and ill just press mode so that the motor doesnt change position, and ill adjust temperature by using electric windows for the time being. But i still think it will need the new motor... here is a pic.... Sorry for the mobile phone quality... If anyone else has any luck let me know... <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s278/stephen351/Phone343.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
