Got automatic climate control?

That cable is driven by a motor buried in the dashboard. You'll have to troubleshoot between a broken cable, broken linkage, or that motor might not be running.

Dont beleive it has climate control. It has a standard heat cool pot. Im assuming this pot only controls the heater core vale. Its not heavy enough to pull the cable, there has to be a motor. Anyone have a Print?

You can purchase a good shop manual for your vehicle from ebay seller, automanualsource for $21.99. This will have the detailed guidance to locate, troubleshoot, and repair/replace the heater valve actuator motor.

good luck

When you turn the temperature ****, it commands air-mixing doors as well as the water valve. Not sure, but probably one motor drives the air-doors as well as a lever that push/pulls the cable going out to the valve.

#12 at the top is the cable for the water valve. But this picture doesn't reall show where it's connected inside...
