Hi, I’ve recently bought a 2010 Caddy which I’m really happy with. One main issue though is that the heater doesn’t work. Fan works on all 1-4 speeds, matirix gets hot, direction adjustments don’t work, only currently coming out of right hand blower and is barely warm. The led light on the recirculation button doesn’t work.
I,ve tried some research and had limited results. Possibly Actuator? How many does a caddy have and what are they each for? How are they accessible?
Any help appreciated as I have it booked in my local mechanic on Thursday but am worried he won’t know what to do.

Re: Heater issues - Actuators?
Welcome to the forum.
First up, you need to determine which type of control your heater has, there's a Bowden cable or servo motor control. Does your temperature adjustment dial feel like it's an electronic dial or mechanical?
If you remove your glove compartment, you can have a look at the flap position arm to see whether it is connected with a cable or has a motor attached.

Hi Doc, pretty sure it’s manual. Apart from fan speed the hot/cold knob and air directional wheel don’t seem to do anything or make any noise. I’ll try and get a look under dash tomorrow. As I said, the led on the recirculation switch above AC switch doesn’t come on at all.

Plug it in and scan for fault codes. If it's electric motor flap it will show any malfunction like on my van.

Re: Heater issues - Actuators?
Hi mate.
I recently bought a Caddy Maxi ex British gas van.
The hot air works untill I change from saying windscreen blow to footwell blow. The hot air then becomes cold and I have to twist hot air knob backwards and forwards to make the air hot.
If I then turn the knob to windscreen the AC light comes on and recirculation lights up, with air con?
Please help been in two garages already.
