Crossland X Defrost Air Distribution Flap Error

My 2021 Vauxhall Crossland X with a gasoline engine is having issues. 61836 km on the clock. I'm getting an error related to the defrost air distribution flap and the heating output is too low. Could this be a defective heater core or a climate control malfunction? Worried about windshield fogging.

A 2021 Vauxhall Crossland X experienced an error related to the defrost air distribution flap, resulting in low heating output and concerns about windshield fogging. The issue was suspected to be either a defective heater core or a climate control malfunction. Upon further investigation, it was found to be a defective plug connection to the flap motor, which was resolved at a local garage, restoring the system to proper function.

I had a similar problem with my 2018 Volvo V60. Error stored in the error memory, and insufficient heating. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the flap motor? A defective connection was the culprit in my case. Worth checking before assuming a major component failure.

Thanks. Where exactly should I be looking for the cable and plug connections related to the flap motor? Is it easily accessible, or will I need to remove dashboard components? Could a problem with the air circulation or temperature regulation system be the cause?

In my Volvo, the connection was accessible after removing the glove box. Given the differences between our cars, I can't guarantee it's the same for your Vauxhall. Best to take it to a workshop. The error memory should indicate the exact location. From what you describe it sounds like it could be cable or plug connection of the component defective

Thanks for the advice. I took the Crossland X to a local garage. It was indeed a defective plug connection, just as you suggested. Repair cost 95€. Now it works perfectly again!
