well i dont think its the door i think the control broke cause i can turn it completely around like round and round so yeah

I believe access to the heater controls is simply a matter of popping off the bezel and taking out some screws.

I'm sorry, I just checked my Haynes manual and it requires removing the glove box for access to 2 screws plus 2 in the front and the ash tray.

o ok yeah thanks i check the all data yeah this is gonna be fun this sat to take it apart cause i'm gonna look at it and see if it is then go to the junk yard to rip one out i did a neon long time ago with the same issue and found the cable had snapped i think thats what happened to this

I dont believe there are any cables. I think it uses a motor for the blend door, fresh air door and the mode door.

Actually, it's a vacuum valve that controls vacuum motors on the heater. When you take it out of the dash, there will be a large rubber plug on the back with a bunch of hoses on it.

just looked it up in mitchel, no vacuum, all electric. Also you can pull codes from the control head to determine the fault.

common problem is the mode door motor, which I think you can access without to much trouble. It is directly behind the dash center support bracket( behind the VIC. Small 7mm or 8mm screws holding it in. I can't copy and paste from mitchel, I would have to print it, the scan it.....would be hard to read if I posted it after I scanned it.

Maybe this will help some. I don't have scans of the blend door motors.
