Stepper Linkage Instructions
Hello forum I have a 2002 c32 and like everyone else the noise from the stepper linkage is starting to get to me and my AC does not cool as well because it can’t go to rec.
Does anyone have instructions for changing the stepper linkage? Also what tools will I need apart from a torque set, and screwdrivers?
Has anyone ever tried to fix the seats on their own without buying the $450 motors?
Thanks

Stepper Linkage
That my friend is the linkage from what is commonly referred to as the stepper motor and it moves the flaps from recirculating to fresh air (or high to low AC). I hear it’s a $600 fix at the dealership. It is actually a series of gears and a metal arm; I bought the kit last year for about $50.

The dealership charges 500-$600 because its very labor intensive. Most of the dash needs to come off. I replaced mine about 2months ago, cost me about $20 and took 2-3 hours.

stepper linkage
i had this problem the 2nd week i brought the car,its this ticking noise you hear from behind the dash and vents,took it back to the dealers and been told that its the flaps that open and close for the ventilation system,the parts are very cheap but lots of labour involved..the whole dash and part of the trim has to come of to get to it..luckily its all on warranty
