97 850 glt evapor coil what is this part called?

Post by 1ezliving4ume »

We I'm into the evaporator coil, its like a wars zone inside my car. Evertime I think I'm going to start putting it back together I fined something else broke :( This little plastic arm thing is over by the fan and runs a damper between the fan and evaporator coil. What is it called so I can get a new one?

You can glue that back together with some JB weld nicely.

The fixit engineer in me suggest a thin wire bent into a U around the square hole end, wrap the two legs of the U up high with several turns of thin wire, then bond wire and plastic with JB-Weld

Damper motor connector is what Alldata calls it ..I suspect it's the one for the blend door

Nicely done. That will hold especially if you got some tension on that wire going around
