Hey all,
I own a 2009 Tjet with automatic transmission.
My climate control has two issues:
1. Selecting air flow from inside the car or outside does not work - air only comes from the outside.
2. Cold air is coming out only on the left side (driver side in my case).
Searching online + taking with some folks led me to believe the problem is that the motors that drive the actuators that move the flaps are broken and that it's a fairly common issue with Bravos. The quote I got for fixing this issue is about $650 + parts so this comes out at an amount I just can't spend on the car.
I'm fairly technical and have good hands but until now only did minimal work on the car (console replacement, some normal maintenance and such) however I'm interested to find out if it would make sense to try and fix this by myself.
The main thing I'm after is a procedure that will give me access to those motors without removing the dashboard which is something I'm not interested in doing and the very thing that makes this fix expensive to begin with.
Any help would be appreciated. I would gladly document my work to create a guide for future users
