Eseries Rear Ventilation Flap Fault
Summary of the thread
A 2007 Ford Eseries diesel is experiencing an issue where the AC blows hot air, linked to a rear ventilation flap fault. The problem may stem from a malfunctioning climate control unit or a dodgy connection. A similar case was resolved by checking the cable and plug connection to the rear ventilation flap motor, which was found to be faulty. The suggested solution is to inspect the cable for damage and consider professional assistance if necessary.

Thanks for the quick reply! I've wiggled the plug, but how do I really check the cable? Is there a way to properly test it without just blindly poking around?

Honestly, beyond a visual inspection for obvious damage, it's tough to test the cable without proper tools. Given the symptoms and error code, and since you've already tried the plug, it might be best to get it checked out professionally. I ended up taking mine to a workshop.

Okay, that confirms my suspicions. I appreciate the advice! I'll book it in for a check-up. The cable was indeed faulty, as you suspected. New cable and fitting, 95€ all in. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Sounds familiar. I've got an Eseries too, and I had similar symptoms last year. Have you checked the cable and plug connection to the rear ventilation flap motor itself? That was the culprit in my case.
