Hello all,
I posted a while back about my air only blowing hot and I wasn't getting any cold air. People suggested that it might be the blend door, but that seems to be fine. I can change the blend door one way or the other with my hand it it will change from hot air to cold air.
Upon further inspection, I checked the blend door motor and it seems like it's not getting enough power. When I change the temperature knob on the dash, I can see the gears inside the actuator turning one way or the other, based on which direction (hot/cool), but they just barely turn. I purchased a used motor off of ebay and i'm getting the same problem, so I am fairly confident that the motor is fine as well. This leads me to believe there is some sort of electrical problem where the motor isn't getting enough power to it to turn the gears, in turn moving the blend door one way or the other. I have checked the connection to the motor and it seems fine (no loose wires, and it's plugged in securely).
What would you guys recommend I check? Has anyone else experienced this problem. I own a 2001 XJ.
