Berlingo Defrost Air Distribution Issue

Hi, I have a 2003 Citroen Berlingo with a gasoline engine. I'm experiencing a problem with the defrost air distribution. The heating output is too low, and an error is stored. I've checked some connections but haven't found anything obvious. Could this be related to the dashboard panel or the HVAC unit? The car has 129093 km.

I also own a Berlingo and had a similar issue. Was the error code specific to the air distribution flap? Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the flap motor itself? It's often a simple disconnection or corrosion issue.

Thanks for the tip! Yes, the error points to the air distribution flap. Where exactly is the flap motor located, and is it easily accessible? I haven't checked the cable connections, because I couldn't find the part to begin with.

It's located behind the dashboard, near the HVAC unit. Access can be a bit tight, but it is doable. Given the error code and your symptoms, I would recommend a workshop visit if you're not comfortable dismantling parts of the dashboard. Repair cost should be around 95€.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the advice. I've taken it to a workshop, and it turned out to be a defective plug connection, as suggested. Everything is working fine now.
