Evening everybody!
A couple of months ago I noticed that the recirculated air stopped working on my Puma. The light still came on when I pushed the button, but I no longer heard the distinctive 'clunk' as the valve moved and the increased volume of the fan. It didn't bother me too much, just meant that I would turn the fan off in traffic instead of pressing the button.
However, with the cold weather I've realised that the fan is stuck on the recirculated setting! This is really annoying, as the air inside the car is getting damp, and at best it means the windows are always steamed up, and at worse they actually freeze on the inside!
So what I need to know it, where exactly is the valve and the solenoid that I assume moves it? Once I've found them, how do I test the system? I should probably mention that the valve did work for a couple of days a few weeks ago, then went back to not working.
I've searched the forum a couple of times and couldn't find any answers, so if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it!
Cheers.
