Toyota Yaris HVAC Broken Vent Selector Repair Fix diy

[@spikewallace]

Thank you. Your video gave me the confidence to pull panels without breaking them, order a replacement part, and make the selector work again in time for summer. Very clear instructions!

Glad I could help

Hey man I just want to say thank you. The dealership was going to charge over $400 to fix this for me. It took me about 45 minutes to fix the issue once I saw what it was. I really appreciate this video.

[@certifiedhoarder]

I am thrilled that it helped you bud. God Bless.

I did this because I watched my husband do it once on my car and I had forgotten how. But let me tell you how I made it easier and had it thrown back together in no time. I used electrical tape to go the top end up where that little gold square goes in the top of the dial so it wouldn't pop out once I got it in because that was a real issue for me, keeping it in place while trying to thread it around the dial. Next I got a pair of toenail clippers and separated the 3 wires, made the threading easy peasy. Put tension on the whole shebang while screwing the little screw in, then wrapped the bottom part past the plastic with more electrical tape. That wire never once even thought about moving. I'm assuming because I had a good amount of tension on the wires with no slack in the dial while taping. This video really helped me and I hope I in turn have helped you. ❤

Thank you. This fix wont last forever but itll get you thru a season before the cable housing mushes up again.

[@RonDePietro]

[@richgorsuch7331]

I’m having the exact same problem with my Toyota Yaris. I’ve repaired it the best I could but it keeps breaking again. It’s infuriating.

[@johnmcx8809]

Thank you for this

[@certifiedhoarder]

Any time

[@rijo3333]

Thanks dear

[@johngrowney1521]

I have fixed mine 3 times now because of the cable binding. The mode control cable assembly has to be replaced

[@Jacob1986]

Is the temperature one operated by cable too?

[@certifiedhoarder]

Im sorry but i dont recall

[@dreamerdon6021]

I'm gonna see if this applies to the 2008 model... Fingers crossed.

[@johngrowney1521]

Just get a replacement cable from dealership. Your existing one because of the cable sleeve will fail. One end fastens to control knob and the other goes to climate control box. It's a challenge but doable

[@certifiedhoarder]

Yes youre right. it does eventually fail. I cant complain. This lasted 2 years. But the car is totally rotted and mostly sitting as a backup vehicle so no real need to turn it from defrost anymore.

[@leroyusa935]

The engineers that designed this cable system obviously never owned any products that were designed for continous long term use or reliability. As a driver, these controls needed constant adjustments to be useful for climate control comfort. From the early morning cold conditions to the warmer temperatures in the late afternoons. They aren't designed or built with enough durability to last. Using this type of cable with plastic gears to move a damper air flow system was a huge mistake. This arrangement is also used to blend the cold air with the warm air, so that means double trouble for the vehicle's climate control system.

[@oguzhancetin_mech]

mine selects the worng positions,like when I try to set it to feet it blows more on top side. is it the same problem with this?

[@certifiedhoarder]

Im really not certain about that, sorry. Pull the dash apart and see if the wires are wrapped around the drum properly. Maybe you have a flapper door issue in the ducting. Ive never gone that far

[@qa7103]

does anyone know where the rear part of the air recirculation connector goes? mine was lying lose on both ends, I fixed it on the back of the knob but cannot locate where the other end goes.

[@crdrdr6]

I replaced this cable with a bicycle brake cable.
