New owner with ventilation problem

Update on this:

I removed the actuator and set the tambour to the defrost position. I cut power to the car and then re-connected and started the car to allow the actuator to go through its calibration sequence, ending with it in the defrost position. I then reinstalled the actuator so that its defrost position matched the tambour defrost position. It does appear it was 180° out compared to the alignment marks on each component. All is well now and it behaves as it should. Pretty simple solution in the end. It just took me a while to get to due to…life.

 

Weird. Anyway, glad it worked out.

 

Yeah, I don’t fully understand it and don’t know that I’m willing to commit any brainpower to trying to understand. If it works, it works.

 

Congratulations on the new car!

 

Exciting!

 

Anyone selling the gear for less than the ebay prices?

 

The ones on ebay are $249 and come from Japan with a 2 week lead time.

 

If I get some of these gears custom made, is anyone interested? I don't know the cost to fabricate. Let's say $100 each. Half of the ebay price.
