I have a 92 940... I have pretty much no heat, only Luke warm, I have pretty much narrowed it down to a bad blend door actuator or something along those lines.... can skme body please tell me if and how I could possibly move the door by hand so I can have just heat? I understand I won't be able to switch it but that's ok, I have two little girls and them having to have blankets for daddy's car is pretty annoying.... if somebody could tell me how to access the "actuator", there is a 760t wagon at the boneyard, I'd like to get whatever I need for this problem off of that. Thanks guys

 

Welcome to the forum

Moved from "New Member" to your cars sub section. Hopefully someone can jump in and help you out with the question.

 

I did the actuator on my S40, it would hick-up and made an annoying clicking sound, happened when I started the car.


Because it is behind the glove compartment box, I did cut it out as you can see to gain easier access to it, I picked up a used actuator on Ebay for around $15 bucks and no more clicking. Not that hard to do.

Being that it is behind the glove compartment and your car is older, I would just cut into it like I did on mine (2003) If my car was newer I would not have done it that way but once you put the glove box back in you will never see it.

Had I had a dremel tool I would have been able to cut it out neatly, but I used a big drill bit, ugly but not seen.

 

fyi, that 760T at the junkyard will do you no good, 760/960 have a completely different HVAC system than 740/940.
