dransfield 3 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hi AllHave been getting an annoying noise from under the dashboard and behind the centre console. On investigation I found that it was coming from a white motorised actuator arm that can be seen if you look up under the dash from the drivers foot rest. I'm guessing that it is involved with controlling the mixture of hot air and cold conditioned air for the climate control as it moves up and down as I increase or decrease the temperature setting. Anyway its going a bit haywire jittering back and forth constantly and making the noise; so what ever controls it isn't working properly. Anybody had this experience or knows how to sort it?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keflips 0 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Sorry for the bump of and old thread.I have a T25 Wagon, 2003, and I have the same problem. Its very annoying noise, and only sounds when the AC its working.I think its the same problem of the OP.Did you find a solution? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Konrad C 947 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I wonder if both posters have climate control in their cars. There is a cabin sensor that measures the temperature, then the system adjusts accordingly to the settings.What happens when auto or the system is turned off. Any noises then? Also at over 10 years old, motors and other parts have wear and tear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtaxi 3 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Had this in my 2008 T25 2.2 Toyota charged me for a new actuator unit and labour £320.00 for such a small part thought this was OTT especially as lots of owners seem to have had this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
