Hi guys
Recently my heater has stopped blowing hot air. not matter what temp you put the climate control unit onto, it just continues to blow cold air.
I researched here and on Club VR4 and have explored the possibility of an air lock but it was not that. I then too out the glove box to have a look at the actuators under there, and found that the one that should open the flap in the heater core to let the hot air pass through is not working. After playing around with the solanoid it is not just clicking away and still will not move. I found that a few other people have had the same problem and it seems to be that the actuator has stripped some of the gears in there so it will not move. I have not actually pulled it out to confirm this, but it is not moving so it can only be that.
First question is, can anyone find out the part number of the actuator, and know what other local cars that it might be in?
And second question, does anyone have one that they would want to sell to me? I am sure i would get bent over by Mitsubishi for a new one.
