So,
my 98 accord ex v6 coupe with auto climate controls is failing.
couple months back the recirculate flap stopped moving. the light goes on and off but the flap does nothing. not the worst thing in the world.
a few weeks ago the hot/cold servo starts making ticking noises as you adjust it (a few weeks go by like this) till it finally stops moving at all on FULL hot.
I looked around the web and forums without finding much of anything, so I dove into the dash, pulled the servo boxes apart tested their little motors and found no missing teeth or slipping gears. put everything back together turned it on, pressed the recirculate button, it moved, pushed it again, it moved. On the third try is stopped again in the open(vent) position. back to square one. same thing with hot/cold knob, still stuck in full hot position.
searched web more, found most post solutions had bad controllers (dash panel) so ordered one (used, said to be in full working condition) online. unplugged old installed new. no change.
so, anyone know where to go from here?
TIA
also looking for how to make it go into diagnostic mode
