Heater mixer flap not opening/ closing

As its starting to get colder in the mornings I better get this sorted.

 

When I adjust the temperature on my heater the mixer flap is not moving at all. Im assuming it is stuck shut as the heater is cold.

 

Ive checked in the passenger footwell and the metal rod is still connected to the flap, the CIG fuse in the drivers footwell fuse box has not blown. Not sure whether this makes any difference but when I turn the ignition on/ off the heater always resets itself to 'recirculate' rather than 'fresh air'.

 

I took the heater unit apart well over a year ago now to do a blue LED conversion, but was working when i re-installed it so hopefully its not me :)

 

Is there anything else i should check before buying a new heater/ aircon unit?

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

Shaun :)

Can you hear the actuator working at all?

 

I wouldn't normally recommend it, but as the unit has been apart it might be worth trying another one. They are peanuts to buy from the breakers on here.

 

You really don't want this to be an actuator fault, beleive me :blink:
