I have already straightened the bent wire up in there, but I cannot for the life of me force it to get into defrost mode!!!

 

heat, bilevel, first level of ac, and now full ac works, but can't get it to go all the way to the defrost..

 

I have even taken a pair of pliers to tried to force that wire back into the sheeth, but to no avail..

 

how do if fix this.. I can go deeper to try to force the panel that moves around, I just don't want to take out the whole dash/heater core system.

 

thanks!

Hey,

 

I fixed the same prob on my old hatch. My problem was the plastic housing around the wire had broken, allowing the housing to slide around and not move the defrost flap. It was kind of a pain, i had to take the interior pretty well apart, glove box out and all that, but the heater core stayed put. then I just moved the plastic housing up because there was enough slack in the other end to make up the difference. This will make sense once you get it apart. If that is the problem anyway. Its really not as bad as it looks, just takes time and keeping all the stupid little bolts and screws straight. I even took pics if you want to see let me know.

 

good luck
