On vehicles with a
“basic”
air conditioner, the
footwell flap control motor
V261
actuates the flaps for the left and right dash panel vents, the left and right footwell vents and the rear left and right footwell vents (beneath the front seats). The various flaps for the left and right side are connected in the air conditioning unit via connecting rods.
Currently all the control motors on this vehicle are identical. While you are performing the basic setting, the control motors are assigned and adapted in accordance with the series connection of the wiring. If the sequence is not as specified, the control motors will not be adapted properly and the flaps will not be controlled correctly
