hot cold blend door

[Shimy87]

Well this weekend slid the hot/cold lever over to hot. later go to slid it back to cold and feel some resistance then it slides to cold but no cold air looks like the cable connects to a v shaped plastic arm that moves the door. Well the plastic V broke where the cable connects. It also appears you need to remove the entire dash to replace that part

Anyone run into this dilema?

Hey Steve, yup thats the culprit. I did some research and found the part on a vendor site. Thanks for the info!!

[Steve Wood]

lucky that one is an easy fix

was a much harder fix before the parts became available

don't you have a 3d printer?

Didn't back then.PLA is not that strong.Would have to beef it up. Sending it out is actually fairly cheap tho

Mine went many years ago & I drilled it out a bit & used a nut & bolt that's still working fine. Altho having the right part is always nice.
