Air Door Cable: Customer Interest
Heater - Poor Performance
NO: 24-03-94
GROUP: Heating and A/C
DATE: Jan. 28, 1994
SUBJECT:
Poor Heater Performance
MODELS:
1992-1994 (AS) Town & Country/Caravan/Voyager
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Customer complains of poor heater performance which may be the result of a misadjusted clip on the blend air door cable. The vehicle will exhibit low
air temperature in the full heat position.
DIAGNOSIS:
Move the temperature control lever all the way to the right to the full heat position. If the temperature control lever does not spring back or springs back
less than .080 in. (2 mm) perform the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
This bulletin involves the adjustment of the clip on the blend air door cable.
1.
Carefully remove the instrument panel center bezel that covers the A/C control assembly. Start by opening the ash tray and pulling at one of the
bottom corners of the bezel. The bezel is held in place by a clip at each corner.
2.
Remove the A/C control attaching screws and pull the A/C control assembly out about 3 in. (7.5 mm) of the instrument panel so the cable
attaching point of the temperature control lever at the rear of the A/C control assembly is visible.
3.
Lift the blend air door cable eyelet off the upstanding tang of the temperature control lever.
4.
Push the eyelet of the cable toward the right until it stops. This moves the blend air door cable to the full cool position.
5.
Now push on the eyelet of the cable with a firm and even pressure until the cable moves 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6 mm) farther to the right.
6.
Re-install the blend air door cable eyelet over the upstanding tang of the temperature control lever.
7.
Move the temperature control lever to the full heat position. If the control lever has at least .080 in. (2 mm) of spring back from the end of the slot,
the clip has been successfully repositioned. If the lever still has less than .080 in. (2 mm) of spring back, repeat steps 3 through 7 until spring back
is .080 in. or more.
8.
Re-install the A/C control into the instrument panel and torque the attaching screws to 17 in.lbs. (1.9 N-m).
9.
Move the temperature control lever to the full cool position and then back to the full heat position. The lever should spring back a minimum of
.080 in. (2 mm) from the end of the slot. If the lever springs back in excess of 1/4 in. (6 mm) the temperature control lever should be forcefully
pushed to the full heat position to properly position the clip.
10.
Re-install the center bezel being sure that all 4 clips are properly engaged.
