Components in engine compartment, servicing


CAUTION!
Before beginning repairs on the electrical system:
Obtain the anti-theft radio security code.
Switch the ignition off.
Disconnect the battery Ground (GND) strap.
After reconnecting battery, re-code and check operation of anti-theft radio. Also check operation of clock and power windows.
Immediately plug open connections on A/C components to prevent dirt and moisture contamination.


NOTE: Before carrying out any work on the A/C refrigerant system. Refer to "A/C Refrigerant System, Safety Measures" [1][2]Technician Safety Information
System components identified with an * must only be serviced or replaced after discharging refrigerant system.






1. Damper*

Fig. 1 Evaporator water drain valve > 06.00, checking







- Fold cover -1 - in bulkhead insulation mat -3- upwards.
- Remove drain valve -2- from opening in bulkhead 4-.

Check water drain valve as follows to ensure correct function:
- The water drain valve must not be stuck together.
- Insulation mat must not be deformed or damaged in the area of water drain valve.
- The opening in the sealing cap of the water drain valve must point downwards.


NOTE: When the cover cap -1- is closed it must be flush with the insulation matting. If the cover cap -1- is pushed in too far, the water drain valve sealing cap -2- can become jammed.
