Following on from replacing all 3 blend motors, and the book symbol returning within a month. I was getting a fault for the right hand temperature blend motor stalling.

At the weekend I stripped it down to make sure then flap in the heater box is free, and that is all fine.

However on checking the faults now I am just getting a fault for the feedback circuit on the same blend motor having failed, so I dismantled the Blend motor and using then live data reading on my fault mate I can only get the pot on the board to sweep from 60 to 120%.

I assume that the pot has failed somehow, but does anyone know the resistance range the pot should sweep through ?

Ranger rovers.net has some good information, also theres a webpage from a guy in sweden ( I think) whos' replaced the innards of the blend motors - I'll have a look and get back to you , but should come up on a search for blend motors on your browser.

Thanks for that time to break out the multi meter I think.

So after faffing about I just decided to order a new single blend motor, and guess what still got exactly the same problem.

Have had the Faultmate on and it still reports the blend motor being stuck at 104%

Any suggestions as to what to try next.

Are you sure the flap is 100% free movement?

I read on here about a 'Self Taper Screw' repair...maybe a search will result in something...apparently this trick stops the flap from sticking!

Glad to see peeps are still using my trick many years on.....

There we go....the man himself.....maybe he can point you in the right direction!

I can flick the flap from stop to stop very easily when the blend motor is not attached so don't think there is a physical problem with the flap.

Short of getting a spring balance on the flap then don't know how else to gauge if the flap is sticking.

Possibly a connector issue or a Hevac controller failure

Yes it is looking that way, noticed on a long journey today the frost warning seems to be behaving oddly as well
