1. I want to test the Blend Motors with the HEVAC before I put the whole dash back in, so does anyone know if I can pull the SRS ECU Fuse, and safely connect the other dash electrics without the SRS Airbags connected ?
2. Just in case, can Nanocom Evo II reset SRS faults properly ? (just in case I trigger one)

I'm in the middle of full dash out so I can fix the Stuck Distribution Flaps . . . .but have a couple of questions:

FYI, I got the heater out and sorted the flap problem. In case anyone is interested, it was nothing to do with flaps & shafts, but actually the main Grey gear that connects directly to the Servo. The spigot that the gear sits on was really tight, even with all flaps disconnected. Careful filing & sanding, plus light grease sorted it out. Now all Blend motors pull 50-100mA when driving the flaps, and peak at 150mA when they stall !!


Thanks,

Ended up removing the SRS Fuse for good measure first (will check for faults later). Then connected HEVAC, and also Instrument cluster so the HEVAC lights up !! Reconnected battery, and then connected Nanocom & turned ignition on . . .

Nanocom successfully completed Blend & Distribution calibration, so now I can move the flaps through all positions properly. . . .and no faults

Got new foam rubber adhesive sealing strip from Screwfix for dash & other ducts. Now waiting for O-rings to be delivered . . . . .

Any hints on lubricant or plumbers sealer for O-Rings ?
