Air Inlet Control Damper - Toyota Yaris Forums

white_rice · 08-10-2011, 05:41 PM

Hey guys, so I was driving the the Yaris (2008 Yaris LE Hatch) today and went to change the Air Inlet Control Damper from FRESH to RECIRC as I was going to use the A/C. I gave it a turn, and it seemed snugged for a second, and then just let go. There is now zero resistance when turning the dial from one way to the other, being that it's obvious something has broke or become disconnected. I'm thinking a pulley or cable has snapped or something in behind the panel. Anyone ever experience this or heard of such a thing happening? Anyways, going to have to take apart the center console to investigate but just wanted to see if it's been addressed in the past.

Cheers.

FRESH - Brings in fresh air

RECIRC - Recirculates internal air
