COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Air Mix Door Motors (front)
The driver (1) and passenger (2) air mix door motors are attached to
the front heater & cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that
the air mix door is opened or closed to a position set by the A/C auto
amp. Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix
door position is then fed back to t
he A/C auto amp. by the PBR built
into the air mix door motors.
Air Mix Door Motor (rear)
The air mix door motor (rear) (1) is attached to the rear heater &
cooling unit assembly. These motors rotate so that the air mix door is
opened or closed to a position set by the front (or rear) air control.
Motor rotation is then conveyed through a shaft and the air mix door
position is then fed back to the A/C auto amp. by the PBR built into
the air mix door motors.
