Replacement Of Driver Side Servomotor

[sam2004]

Hi!

Is there anybody who had to replace the driver side servomotor? I was told by a dealer It cost lot of money as they got to remove the dashboard. Part is not costly but the labour. I want to make sure whether it is true. Thanks.

What is the servomotor for? Not sure I understand what part of the car you are talking about.

It helps to mix the hot air & cold air according to the information from climate control. Motor controls the opening with a damper connected to it. There are two motors for Driver side & passanger side, which are bit difficult to reach under the dash board.

Look at this link to get an idea of a different car http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-second-generation/501372-diy-repairing-air-mix-servomotors.html

Thanks for the interest.

Yes, you have to remove the whole dashboard, steering wheel, and front wipers/cowl according to the service manual to get to the A/C parts.
