blowing hot and freezing cold all at same time!!

legacymotors1 · Dec 3, 2010

hi guys, typical just when ive sorted all my other problems with your help, it turns to -10 outside and i have only got heat from the drivers side ventilation,, i can only think the blend motors have failed me!!, temps goes up and down no probs on drivers side but the passenger side of the car is blowing arctic cold only, got the "book" symbol up on the hevac screen, can anyone tell me how easy or hard this job is going to be?? in this weather i need my rangey more than ever, with some hot air would be nice,,

just make sure you always drive.. sod the passengers

Passenger side is easiest to change. Don't try ripping everything apart either to get to the plug at the end of the cable, just cut the cable to the old motor and connect the wires to the cable on the new one using soldered joints and heat shrink tubing to ensure 100% good joints.

Forgot to add.....get the motors recalibrated afterwards by someone with Faultmate/Autologic or Test Book.
