Seat Inca Defrost Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2002 Seat Inca is experiencing a defrost issue with low heat output and an error related to the defrost flap motor. The problem is suspected to be due to a defective cable or plug connection. A similar issue was resolved by checking the blower motor resistor and addressing a loose connection behind the dashboard panel controlling the defrost flap. Ultimately, the problem was fixed by repairing the faulty connection to the defrost flap motor.

Yes, I did have a stored error code too. Honestly, I didn't mess with it myself. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They found a loose connection behind the dashboard panel controlling the defrost flap. Saved me the headache of potentially breaking something else. Better safe than sorry, right?

Interesting. Where exactly is the blower motor resistor located? And did you experience a stored error code as well? I'm pulling my hair out trying to avoid tearing apart the entire dashboard panel unnecessarily.

Took the Inca to the workshop. It was a faulty connection to the defrost flap motor, just as suspected. 95€ later, the heater is blasting hot air where it should. Thanks for confirming my suspicions; saved me a lot of time.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Inca. The windshield fogging was a nightmare, especially on cold mornings. Have you checked the blower motor resistor? Sometimes a faulty resistor can cause weird air distribution issues. It's like when you have a dimmer switch that's gone bad, and the light flickers.
