Absolute legend for getting such clear footage in such a tight spot! Now, back to standing on my head.

Good Afternoon Would you be able to provide the video detailing how to remove the broken blender door. Thanks a million.

No heating for rear passengers. Which page should I look for the error? Left or right?

[@Howie262]

@imrelazar9906 there’s two places you want to check. The blend door on the drivers side (like you see in this video) or the passenger side rods and levers located if you were sitting with your left knee. The drivers side blend door is so hard to get to that you might as well replace it if you take it apart (about 10$ part). The passenger side rods/levers are easy to visually check to see if they’re intact. The Saab climate control system will also give you codes for broken components if you hold and press off+auto at the same time. (Something like that, I forget)

@@Howie262 Thanks. No error code, i.e. "0". I checked the right side, everything is fine. Blows nicely to the windshield, legs and center. Now comes the left side...

[@imrelazar9906]

I have a thin body so I was lying on my back on the pedals with a headlamp. The engine works, so does the axle. The distributor also rotates nicely. After setting the temperature, it moves a little as it should. I don't understand why the rear part is not heated.:-((

@imrelazar9906 if there is air blowing to the back seats from the drivers right arm rest(center console) then we know the blower motor/airflow is good. I’d check the passengers side rods/arms making sure those are not broken. It’s right behind the internal heater core/cabin air filter on the passengers seat left knee. Matter of fact open it all and just inspect everything. There could be leafs and debris in the cabin air filter area for all we know clogging things. You already did the hard part of seeing the blend door arm, now’s just process of elimination.
