The motor moves from 18 degrees in half degree increments, a bit more of a movement 18-18.5 but I guess that's a "Parked" position and the arm just setting it's self? 18-25 is fine then there is no movement at all until over 30, when you finally get heat but in this weather it's going to be on 32 (Max) all the time I think. So not much adjustment or at least not as much as I expected, maybe not as much as Mazda intended?
So I took the motor out, stripped it but didn't find anything obviously wrong. I was assuming another motor was the answer but the breaker I used has now given me 2 and they are all much the same, not exactly, one I would say is worse with a bigger blank space in the middle.
So are my assumptions about how this should work correct, firstly? If so then would this indicate it's not the motor, maybe the digital controller? Rather than another 2nd hand motor, should I consider a new one, are they even available? Would it be better to get someone with electronics knowledge to repair the motor?
I have seen posts about this kind of issue before and many people seem to think it's 'just how they are now' surely this can't be as good as the heater was when new, I appreciate they are old vehicles now but surely there should be a way to get this working a bit better? Appreciate any advice or information, thanks in advance
