Another stepper blend door motor problem.

Hello all

I am in the process of figuring out what is wrong with my RRS. I have a 2007 RRS US LHD none-SC.
My entire left driver side blows only cold air and in any zone. The passenger side blows warm air in any zone as it should. I did my research on 3 different RR and Disco forums and I know the culprit had to be either the entire HVAC unit or the left blend step door motor is not functioning correctly. I removed the motor and the white plastic moved a long when I turned the dial. I was also able to manually turn the flap door it self but with no luck since I still have cold air in both settings.

How can I eliminate if there is something broken or if there is something stuck in the door? I have removed my entire arm rest, center console, NAV, Radio, heater controls and most of the dash. I am also making a DIY and will post it here once I complete the job.

Any information will help.

Fair enough, I will give them a shot.
I tried two other forums and no luck. Maybe third time is the charm.

IF you have it plugged in to a diagnostic machine, it will give a specific fault code for a blend motor.

You can check the live readings, and see if the HVAC unit is trying to command the motor, and what position the motor is at Thumbs Up

I do not have a diagnostic machine. I have one for my l322 but it won't work for the sport. :/ Confused Confused

So what could it be? The motor turns with the dial and I can manually turn the gear but it doesn't fix the problem. Does that mean I have to replace the entire heater core?

It could be a weak motor, not strong enough to move the flap Thumbs Up

As I said, having it plugged in would reveal all

Fair enough, which tool do you recommend for the occasional home user who is contemplating selling the RR? Laughing
Price is also a factor.

Thanks

If you are not keeping the car, its cheaper to take it to a garage and let them read the codes.

Otherwise, the IID Bluetooth gets my vote Thumbs Up
