I noticed the cooling air control cable is detatched. Don't know how long it's been that way. How is this activated? Do I just reconect it?

Thanks, the wire is laying below the arm that opens the flaps. I can just reatatch it, but I'm wondering how to know if the whole system is working once it's reatatched.??

Before attaching the cable actuate the arm against the spring tension and listen for the flaps moving and hitting their stops....then look to see that the bellows are retracted to the short position (cold)..... While the engine is cold close the flaps against the spring tension and while holding it there atttach the cable keeping the cable on the tight side......make sure the cable stays put on the pulley (or roller) then run the car to warm it up and look to see that the bellows have expanded out to the long position, thereby allowing the flaps to open. |
