I recently asked for advice on replacing the ventilation system air recirculation motor on my 1999 406 (newer style). I have followed the advice given by "Nigel" but have run into problems.
I have prised out the end panel on the facia (the one that is only visible when the door is open) and removed the adjacent passenger ventilator and the first piece of ducting containing the flap. I have been able to disconnect the next, elbow shaped, piece of ducting from the hose but no way will it come out. I have also removed the trim beneath the glovebox, the glovebox itself and the curved black panel behind the glovebox. It is through the aperture left by this panel that I can touch, but not see, the motor. Is there something else that I need to remove? Taking out the glovebox housing would make it easy but, although I have removed the two screws inside the earlier mentioned end panel and the three screws along the top edge, it seems to be held against the side of the centre console so I assume that it will be pretty nigh impossible to take the housing out without major dismantling.
I have seen another posting on the Newsgroup by "CB" who had the same problem and has taken the motor out with no apparent difficulty. My question is, am I missing something?
Any further advice will be very gratefully received.
