Yes, I think the two lines on the plastic cover mean something. I really hope that removing and installing it isn't difficult.

Damn, this is the full end position ?? :o

But the track is much longer than the end position. I thought the end of the track was also the maximum end position

Are these two black notch lines on the plastic cover an indicator for anything?
It looks as if they indicate the end positions of ...

Ok Nice,
Okay, if it's lying open in front of me, then I have to turn it counter-clockwise.
Unfortunately, I don't know yet which direction it is.
Check my photo. I attached the gear by hand. The sliding contacts are now located where the red mark is.

@jreed

I think this is the best way

Can you tell me which side of the damper motor corresponds to the clockwise direction?

When I've opened it, should the small gear be at the top or the bottom?

Ok, nice

What still worries me is how to install the damper motor correctly so that the blend door is in the right position on the square drive of the damper motor

So you mean just connecting the damper motor, setting the temperature on the ECC control unit, and reading the position in the app?

Ah yes, I can read this with 850 Android App
My broken damper motor is stuck at 100%.

And how is that supposed to help me if I install the 'new' damper motor? I mean, when I install it, I have to do the calibration anyway, and then it will be back in the correct position?

I'm a bit ...

@abscate

I don't know which tool to use for this, and which map thread do you mean ?
So should I install it ? Calibrate it or not?

hmm

I don't know if we're overcomplicating things a bit right now? :)
Just to be clear: I lifted the large gear with the sliding contacts, cleaned the grease off the track, and put the gear back on roughly how I remembered it... Maybe a few teeth off from before. But definitely not 90 degrees wrong.

If ...

If I install the used damper motor, the calibration won't be right anyway. That's why I'm asking if it's a big deal that I didn't mark the large gear with the sliding contacts before cleaning the grease off the track. Or is the damper motor trash now?
Gemini told me it's no big deal. But what does ...
