Hi all, new Z32 owner (1990 NA).

My car has the manual climate control. Right now all the heat or air comes out of the vent (not the floor or defrost) regardless of where the mode switch is turned. Based on some internet research, I've figured it most likely is a bad mode motor.

Any idea where a guy can buy one of those? Ebay didn't seem to have any, nor the autozone type places.

Thanks in advance, and you will probably be hearing more from me as I work on making this 23yr old car right.

Post up a want ad in the classifieds, cause there's part outs all the time. That's pretty much the only place you're gonna find it, other than possibly eBay.

Welcome to NICO, BTW! :wavey:

I messaged you. If you can help me confirm which part you're talking about I'm pretty sure I have it. Scrapping the car and leftover parts soon, let me know.

Hmm... the message didn't show.. not sure why... anyway I'll see if I can take a pic of it when I get home and send you. From what I understand, some of the other climate control motors are a bear to get to, but this one you can get to under the dash on the drivers side to the right of the gas pedal.

Thanks for replying.
