P38a 1997 left blend motor not working

aiskew · Dec 30, 2019

The left blend motor isn't working.
Diagnostic showing as 'open circuit '
What's the best remedy short of taking most of the dash out?
Splice into it from the right motor? If so what's the best method ?

The blend motor can be accessed without removing the dash. You CANNOT splice into it from the RH lend motor and it would do no good if the blend motor is dead.

The left blend motor can be 'got at' from above after removing the passenger airbag module. a replacement motor can be spliced into the existing left hand motor wiring.

I am not sure I have any photos of mine from a few years ago, but I was fed up with only having hot from both sides, so I removed the left motor and set it to cold.....that way if I wanted hot I would open the right hand vents, and for cold, close the right hand and open the left hand....worked for a while until I finally fixed it properly!

I got at mine by removing the glove box
Hope your little ones enjoyed their Christmas Ant

Hi, I've got the glove box out but there's a large plastic air duct blocking access to the blend motor .what did you do?

Take the airbag module out and take a look at it from above

Try putting it on min and then max temp a few times. Mine did that a few years ago and taking it to extremes seemed to fix it.

Mine is like ^^^ constantly. It changes now and again to the correct setting on startup.

Have to discharge air bags system before taking anything apart or touching any yellow ducted wires. Be sure to read RAVE
