BP2411 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hello everyone! My car blowers only go through the dash vents regardless of what setting I have them on so I assume something has detached on the rear of the panel, I have removed the clock cover, radio fascia, heater control surround & gearstick surround but the control panel won't move, I've undone the 4 screws and the bottom is loose but the top won't budge. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP2411 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Got it off, the cable wasn't connected but the retaining clip on the wire has snapped off, does anyone know where the other end of this wire goes? If it had snapped with the heaters aiming at the windscreen I could've lived with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just now, BP2411 said: Anyone? It goes behind the dash. Hope that helps... 🤭 If you can work out the orientation of the HVAC box from this picture, the cable should go to the white X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP2411 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 And that box is where? 😂 Behind the glove box? My wire, the end that connects to the control panel is bent at 90° but looking online it should be straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wire, the end that connects to the control panel is bent at 90° but looking online it should be straight? Lol, it's right in the middle behind the dash...that box is literally why the dash has to be so deep! Here's the full ad if you can get a better idea of it. Surely you can see the shiny heater pipes as a reference point? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fiesta-Mk7-2008-Onwards-Complete-Heater-Box-And-Air-Con-Assembly/254512318753 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It's not too difficult to unclip the cables from the Housing. Think you may need to remove the glove box , that's only 2 pins. Then a bit of heater ducting to pull out the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP2411 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 That's very useful thanks, for now I've just pushed the cable so the air is directed at the windscreen and put it back together but I'll definitely have another look once I've got a price from Ford for a new cable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
