Ka rear ventilation malfunction

My 2016 Ford Ka diesel with 224339 km has a rear ventilation flap issue. I'm getting an error stored, and the climate control unit isn't working correctly. The AC doesn't cool properly in the back. Diagnostics suggest a defective cable or plug. Has anyone else seen this?

Whoa, that sounds annoying! Especially with summer coming. Have you checked the climate control system fuses? Sometimes a blown fuse causes chaos. Can you hear clicking from the ventilation when you start the car or adjust settings?

Thanks! Fuses seem fine, and there's no clicking. Is there a specific cable or connector on the Ka that's known to cause rear ventilation problems? Hoping to avoid a costly repair if it's a simple fix.

That's a bummer about the fuses. If they're good and there are no weird sounds, it could be the connector/wiring. Chasing electrical gremlins in modern cars is a headache. Since it's affecting the climate control and throwing codes, a workshop check might be worth it. They can test the component properly and save you time.

Thanks! I took it to a local garage, and you were right; it was a defective plug connection. They charged me 95€ to fix it, which I think is reasonable. AC is working great now!
