POOR DEMISTING PERFORMANCE
Despite correct setting of heating and ventilation controls to fresh air demisting, the interior of the vehicle continues to mist up.
Cause
Incorrect recirculation flap servo motor fitted, preventing correct operation of flap.
Action
Check the operation of the recirculation flap as follows:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Confirm that the recirculation switch is set to admit fresh air (indicator light off).
3. Observe the recirculation flap located in the passenger footwell. This should be covering the grill.
4. Operate the recirculation switch (indicator light on). The flap should move towards the bulkhead, uncovering the grill, and stay there until the switch is operated again.
5. If the flap does not respond as described, the servo motor is incorrect and should be replaced. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 80.10.18 for replacement procedure.
NOTE: When connecting the flap operating rod to the new servo, ensure that the retaining clip is securely fitted.
6. Confirm correct operation of the flap as described at 3 and 4 above.
