So I decided to replace the passenger defrost motor. It is a PITA, bit not to difficult overall. I will say taking the dash out put some pressure on the connectors on the squibs in the a pillar. I am now getting this fault in DAS.

the resistance value in the ignition circuit containing component r12/17 (right front window airbag ignition squib) is too low.

Trying to determine which airbag it is. Is it right side while sitting in the car, or like most things while standing outside looking at car from front. Basically is it driver or passenger?

Direction is always while sitting in the car facing forward so right is the passenger side in the USA.

i may need to pull mine apart and fix a blend door for the hvac... any helpful hints or instructions ?

It's pretty straight forward. I used a write-up here on mbworld as well as a couple of YouTube videos. I did use a DAS to make sure all was working properly after replacement, before reinstalling dash.
Decent PDFs on how too.

So it took unplugging both front curtain squips cycled ignition switch to on the off, put both squib connectors back in and then hooked up DAS and cleared the codes.
