rear A/C

[teedup]

Does anyone know how to get to a rear A/C without talking the entire rear end apart. There is thumping in the unit. Maybe a fan or something. The dealers want $1000.00 to fix it cause they need to disassemble the entire back. Whoever the rocket scientist was that designed it should be on welfare.

It is almost definitely one of the two rear door blend motors (one controls whether air blows through the top or the bottom, the other controls the hot/cold air mix) - a very common problem. I believe they are the exact same motors.

Mine was the top motor (top/bottom airflow) which seems to be the more common one to fail. I replaced it last night (2005 Eddie Bauer) in less than 20 minutes through the cupholder/tray. I bought the motor (Dorman Part #604-213) from Amazon for $42.14 which included tax and next-day delivery. It is so easy (particularly if it is the top motor like mine was) that no one should EVER pay a shop or a dealer to do this.
