1. Flip down the glove to its lowest position (hold the heels of the page will
it down
2. Look up. In the top you will see a white box with an electric cable. Make sure your car's engine is
switched on, turn on the heat control in hot mode, make sure it will really
edits hot air from air emissions. In doing so, turn off the engine and pull out
power cable
3. Push the screwdriver between the House and the white box and strip away the
(it is on the plastic clips on 4 points), cut carefully so as to release the full
4. Remove the box.
5. Look down into the hole where the axle box gone down. For this you need a flashlight and
an inspection mirror. You should note that the "hole" is split and that the
left is half shaft and the hole is shaped like a triangle. Petaling off any
cracked, surplus shaft screwdriver. Remember to glue together the sitting
left - it is run.
6. Put the box in screw anvil and drill a hole in the box axis approximately 1cm from
end as depicted in the picture in this regard. It is important that you get to the proper angle,
ie to be released into the corner of "D-axis" apparently.
7. Tag drill bit you used and press it into the hole you just drilled. Cut as
that you leave about 3-4mm on each side of the axis, see picture! Add like a small
limdutt so that the drill bit remains.
8. Put the box on top of the plenary and ensure that the drill bit is so short, so
that it is free of edges, and that it does not receive when you get the box.
You may need to try a few times before you get to it. You may
connect the cable and rotate the shaft slightly by turning the heat slider
that it will fit perfectly.

Many Explorer owner notes in the summer time the heat slider no longer works,
but is in hot mode constant, regardless of how to turn the heat control. There are
two solutions to this problem. One is to change the whole fläktplenumet, which means
that the entire dashboard to be fitted out, the second solution is not equal 100%,
but certainly easier.
The reason for the heat control is no longer working is that the damper regulating
airflow between the hot and cold have been ruptured. The damper is operated by a small electric motor with a
D-shaped shaft, and the material of the damper is unfortunately not strong enough for it to be
keep in year after year.
and hose clamps about $10.00 at Home Depot, etc.. Takes less than an hour to install. Do when engine is cool since you will lose some coolant when installing valve.
