Cable, Temperature Control: Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Fiat 500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

All the gear to gear contact points and the cable levers on the back of the A/C heater control should be adequately lubricated using Silicone Grease, available through Mopar. Lubrication should be performed if there is a concern or complaint of linkage chatter, grinding, or other movement derived noises that are detectable in the cabin.

NOTE:

All of the linkage and gear to gear contact points on the HVAC housing should be adequately lubricated, as well as the air door pivot shaft to HVAC housing contact points using Molykote® Grease, available through Mopar. Do not get grease on the air door seals, as this could cause unwanted flap noises and impairs the durability of the seal. Lubrication should be performed if there is a concern or complaint of linkage chatter, grinding, or other movement derived noises that are detectable in the cabin.

NOTE:

Whenever the temperature control cable is removed from the HVAC housing, a new cable must be installed. Failure to replace the temperature control cable when required can result in some temperatures not being fully obtained.
