AARGHHH!, I went to replace my cables today( I thought the mode control and fresh air were broken) and the mode wont work right. It was all fubared up, not only broken but the linkages were all disconnected etc. I took out the broken cable and replaced it with the new one, but no matter what I do the travel for it is now half the distance from def to acmax. What did I do wrong?

 

Good news is the fresh air cable wasnt broken, the end was off of the lever.

 

Anyone want to buy a fresh air cable for cheap?

 

 

Worrisome thought though, I spotted a bunch of white grease pencil marks sayign things like OK or 83 and so on, Im beginning to wonder what happend to the car?

very possible you could either have the cable routed wrong, out of adjustment, or have the wrong cable all together. I replaced mine and it works just fine, I also re-ran it exactly as the old one was, maybe Matt/Robert or I can check it out for ya sometime.

When I bought the cable I also got the one for the fresh air vent. However I did make sure to check that I was using the correct one.

 

I also tried a bunch of variations on the alignment of the cable.
