No not working, normally you hear the flap move. I don't hear anything now.

Have you tried resetting it in basic settings?

I tried to go into basic settings, but as I don't have a registered version it would not let me.

Looks like I will be purchasing a full version soon.

I changed mine myself. Part was about £70 and took me a couple of hours.

You need to remove the glovebox obviously, and I also removed the blower motor to gain access to the flap on the inside. It's fairly easy to remove the old one, but getting the new one in is a pain in the ring!

Helps to plug the new one in and pre-position in using the heater controls before fitting.

Prepare to scratch the hell out of the back of your hands while poking around in the corner of the dash!

But yeah, it can be done, just takes time and patience.

Does this look like the correct part?
