Electric Sprinter rear ventilation problems
Summary of the thread
The initial problem involves a 2022 Electric Sprinter with malfunctioning rear ventilation, rendering the air conditioning ineffective. A suggested cause is a faulty flap actuator, potentially due to issues with the wiring harness, such as chafing or corrosion. The solution involves inspecting and possibly repairing the wiring harness connection to the flap actuator, which resolved the issue after a corroded connector was cleaned.

Thanks for the tip Where is that wiring harness located Is it easily accessible or will I need to dismantle half the van to get to it

From what I remember it runs along the side of the van under the trim panels You'll probably need to pop off some of those plastic bits to get a good look If you're not super comfortable with that I'd suggest taking it to a workshop They'll have the right tools and know exactly where to look Better than breaking a bunch of clips and still not fixing the problem But definitely tell them you suspect the wiring harness connection to the flap actuator Might save you some diagnostic time

I feel your pain I had a similar freakout with the rear air System diagnostics kept pointing to the flap actuator Check the wiring harness that goes to the rear unit It's a common weak spot Look for any chafing or corrosion on the plug connection This can cause weird issues with the automatic climate Give that a good look before you start spending money
