hi guys i have a problem with my flap[8D] ( ohh err misus ) no not that one ! the one on my s40 its a 97 se with aircon the problem is when the air recirculate flap is open the motor that opens and closes when pressedclicks as if a relay or something is still trying to open it when its alreay fully open, iso to stop the clicking i have to drive about with the air recirculating on eg the flap is closed .eg the button pressed on .
can anyone tell me where i can locate the relay for this motor?
also can i just leave is disconnected with the flap open, will this affect the aircon

any advice is appreciated thanks guys

 

Having recirc on with drop the temp. inside the car about 10 degrees.
If you can leave recirc on that would be the best.
Souonds like the motor that controls the recirc might have a spripped gear at one end of movement.

 

cheers mate i have actualy took the motor off and have found one tooth off a cog has broke off but i cant see why that would affect it as it doesnt slip ,it catches and closes and opens fully, ill go to the breakers tommorrow and get a new motor i also wanted to grsb therelay for the motor too while i was there just incase it was the relay but i dont know where it is??
also i thought about leaving the recirculate on but the car steams up inside

 

Im not sure if there is a relay for it or not.
I think it is just controlled by the climate module.
If you want to look through the wiring diagram look on this site.

Also it must be the last tooth that is bad. When it gets to a certain point that is what stops the motor from going more. With that tooth missing it isn't going all the way to the point to stop the motor.
