Hello All.
Have not been here since my last 1997 was totaled more than a year ago.
Hope someone can help me out with this dreaded blender door.
I have done my 'homework' and found about this issue. Then went and bought the door from Rock Auto.
Just got through cutting out that triangle on the bottom of the plenum. When I reached up in there...trying to figure out how to take out the old door...it felt like nothing on that door was broken! Moved it around and the top of the door..the part up top that the actuator connects to....it was moving also as I moved the door back and forth. Then tested the actuator.....it moved like it was supposed to but slowly.
So....rather than cutting the plenum with my dremel and going any further, I decided to take a shot here.
If that door is moving OK, and the actuator seems to be moving Ok, why is hot air ALWAYS pouring into the cab?
Not sure where/what I need to check before continuing with the blend door repair.
Thanks
