Spent almost an hour searching posts to see if this problem has come up but nothing exactly like this. Although VR VS forum guys' have similar vacuum related issues. Just bought the VE SSV about 6-7 weeks ago and still learning about it (last car for 21 years was a VK!!). I just had ABS Auto here in Perth do some work on it which included replacing a driver side blend actuator motor. Now it's got this issue of when I press the Face Air button (Triangle symbol facing up) the air goes to the floor (along with the picture on the screen showing floor air) and vice Versa - pressing floor button changes to giving the Face level air. It does this on manual or AC, in SZ and DZ.
It seems electrically related, as if the plugs have been reversed, but could it be that simple? I rang ABS but I didn't know the car well enough to say for sure if it was like that before I gave it to them, so I couldn't blame them outright. The guy was clueless about what could be the problem. The buttons are low on the console, in front of the shifter, whereas the work they did was more under the steering wheel panels I think.
I just went out and did the actuator motor / blend door recal procedure (pressing rear demist with ign on). All the cycles went through as normal but the problem is still there.
Just asking if anyone has encountered this problem? Is it a known issue and where would I start to look if I wanted to try and fix it? It's no huge problem, all works ok, just in reverse, but would be good to get it sorted.
When I went to AMCAP, the parts fellow there showed me the schematic of the heater box actuator motors. Apparently there's six of them on the DZ, all pretty much the same but doing different things. I'm wondering if one of these controls the flap door between Face and Floor outlets. I'm sure it would.
Thanks
