Figs. 3 Blend-Air Door Actuator Removal and InstallationÐView from bottom of A/C Housing

CAUTION: Align the blend-air door shaft to the slot in the actuator. Be sure the shaft on blend-air door actuator is properly engaged (when installing) to prevent damage.

Perform system check.

MODE DOOR ACTUATOR

The Mode Door Actuator is located on the side of the A/C-heater case near the accelerator pedal.

CAUTION: Do not remove any of the motor actuators from the heater-A/C unit assembly with any electrical power applied. Removal should only be done with the Ignition OFF. The actuators have no mechanical stops to limit their travel. If the actuator rotates and is not connected to the unit assembly, it will become un-calibrated.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

(1)Remove under panel silencer.

(2)Disconnect electrical connector from actuator.

(3)Pinch and remove the lower plastic clip from the actuator arm (Fig. 4).

(4)Remove the three actuator bracket mounting screws (Fig. 5).

(5)Rotate actuator to gain access to upper plastic clip. Pinch and remove the upper plastic clip (Fig. 5) from the actuator arm.

(6)Remove actuator-to-actuator mounting bracket screws.

(7)Remove actuator from mounting bracket. Remove from vehicle.

To install, reverse the preceding operation.

FRESH/RECIRC DOOR ACTUATOR

The Fresh/Recirc Door Actuator is located on the passenger side of the A/C-heater case.

CAUTION: Do not remove any of the motor actuators from the heater-A/C unit assembly with any electrical power applied. Removal should only be done with the Ignition OFF. The actuators have no mechanical stops to limit their travel. If the actuator rotates and is not connected to the unit assembly, it will become un-calibrated.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

(1)Remove the glove box/ash tray assembly. Refer to the Switch and Panel Component Service section of Group 8E.

(2)Remove under panel silencer pad.

(3)Remove the carpeted cover over the air bag module.

(4)Remove the right front kick panel.

(5)Remove metal instrument panel brace (Fig. 6).

(6)Remove two screws mounting the actuator mounting bracket to the A/C-heater case (Fig. 7).

(7)Remove three screws holding the actuator to the mounting bracket (Fig. 8).

IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR/ASPIRATOR ASSEMBLY

The In-Car Temperature Sensor/Aspirator Assembly is located behind the instrument panel and to the right of the steering column. The air intake opening for the aspirator is located to the right of the steering column (Fig. 9). The Sensor and Aspirator are wired together and must be replaced as an assembly.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
