Housing-Air Inlet

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:

The two air door pivot shaft to air inlet housing contact points and coupler to actuator contact points should be adequately lubricated 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:

Manual Temperature Control (MTC) shown. Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) similar.
