First you need to determine if your flapper door bearing is broken, it has 2 snap tabs that break off and disconnect the bearing from the lower edge of the the flapper door.



Its located dead center under the dash, the temp cable hooks directly to the bearing. If it is cocked in the housing or pulled down chances are one or both locking tabs are broken off.



This is dealer part that only costs around $12. While your there ask them to print out a picture of the illustrated parts catalog.



Now comes the hard part, installing the bearing, the dealer charges hundreds to fix this problem but luckily there is a trick that I will describe.



1.) Remove the plastic panel from the right side.

2.) Disconnect the Temp Cable (Yes, there is next to no room in there)

3.) Remove Bearing.

3.) Take a mirror and look up into housing. (Can you see the flapper)

4.) Turn fan on high to center flapper in housing.

5.) It must be dead center to snap in bearing (You may need to use a probe)

6.) It's not working ... is it ... go now and get a cold beer ... this will takes many attempts.

7.) Keep repeating steps 4, 5 & 6 till it the bearing snaps in place. (It is possible to snap in place yet not fully engage flapper door, it will look slightly crooked)

8.) When it properly snapped in place, its flush with the housing and you can clearing hear the flapper hit hard on the stops in both directions.

9.) Connect Temp Cable and Install side Panel.



Good luck, just understand it can be done with patience and a mirror as I describe.
