I haven’t checked anything under the dash but it is unlikely since I haven’t done anything inside the car other than pulling the climate control unit out and putting it back in.

I did pull the climate control unit back out and checked all of the connections and they were all OK.

When I run diagnostics on all of the other flaps and motors, they all check out fine.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I decided to scan my car today with my Foxwell scanner just to see if any errors showed up. The last time that I scanned it was sometime last fall and no errors were present. When I scanned it today the only error that I got was a central flap motor error. I tried clearing it but it keeps coming back. My climate control system seems to be working OK but not sure what the central flap does? The only thing that I can think of is that I sent my climate control unit off this winter to have a new screen put in. For some reason they didn't send the exact unit back that I sent in. I know this because I had to tape the label back on the top of mine. I did take a photo of both and the numbers look the same. Where is this motor located and does anyone have any ideas what could cause this error, other than a bad motor?

POST 2Original post

Could it be that the flap motor wire connection to car wireharness is not encaging well enough or is completeley loose?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I did pull the climate control unit back out and checked all of the connections and they were all OK. I haven’t checked anything under the dash but it is unlikely since I haven’t done anything inside the car other than pulling the climate control unit out and putting it back in. When I run diagnostics on all of the other flaps and motors, they all check out fine. When I run the central flap diagnostics, I get no values at all. I’m not sure exactly where the central flap motor is located. I assume that it can be accessed under the dash?
