Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK - I need some help with a photo or diagram of the lever/armature that controls the blend door. I disassembled mine and can't figure out the correct way to put it all back together. I replaced the missing foam in the blend door. I loosened the motor for the blend door above the passenger foot well. The linkages came loose and I cannot figure out how to reassemble them correctly. I can't find any picture of it in the Bentley or 101 Projects Book.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I may have figured out the correct routing to the linkages.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After walking away for a couple of hours the correct path to route the linkages was made. The middle bar runs towards the transmission tunnel, linking the pink lever on the actuator motor lever on the blend door. The blend door linkage can go either of two way, but when the middle bar is in the proper position, the positioning will be obvious (to most everyone but me).

Hah! No fair, I asked for one first. I tried a few shots with my cell phone. All of the pieces under there are black, except for the pink lever on the actutor motor, making it hard to see the parts.
