Fusion Weak Heat Air Distribution Flap
Summary of the thread
The main issue discussed is weak heat and ineffective defrost in a 2006 Ford Fusion, with an error code indicating a problem with the air distribution flap. The suspected cause is a bad connection, possibly a loose wire to the flap motor. The suggested solution is to check connections, but ultimately, professional diagnosis is recommended to avoid further complications. The problem was resolved by fixing a loose wire to the air distribution flap motor.

Interesting! Which module was it on your Saab? And where was it located? I'm willing to poke around a bit before I surrender to the shop.

Can't recall the exact module on the Saab, sorry. It was buried under the dash somewhere. Honestly, tracing those wires was a pain. If you're getting error codes pointing to a specific flap motor, I'd say just bite the bullet and let a pro diagnose it. Could save you a ton of time and frustration. Plus, you might screw things up more!

Yeah, you're probably right. I hate admitting defeat, but tracing wiring gremlins isn't my forte. Especially not with all the crazy electronics in these newer cars. Ended up taking it in. Turns out a wire to the air distribution flap motor was loose as you said. 95€ later and I have heat again. Thanks for the nudge!

Sounds familiar! I had a similar nightmare with my old Saab 9-3. Weak heat, error codes...turned out to be a dodgy plug on one of the climate control modules. Before you tear everything apart, double-check those connections. Saved me a fortune!
