Heat Vent sticking? FAQ

Heat Vent sticking? FAQ
It's cold up here in Chicago tonight and coming home this evening I really needed the heat.
I don't seem to have any blowing at all into the seat wells. The front panel vents and the defroster are fine. When I call for the lower vents nothing happens, it just keeps blowing out of the panel vents.
Relay?
I searched the forum with no luck.
Thanks!

In that case I would try this. IF you have access to AC control module (right side)
or the Evap./Htr. Assem. (Left side) check these pins
AC Control Module .............................Evap/Htr assem
AC 1-12 ...............................................AC 7- 8...............+12 if active Drives servo
AC 1-25 ...............................................AC 7- 7...............+12 if active Drives servo
AC 2-13 ...............................................AC 7- 6............... Position 3.5v = open
That way you can tell if the problem is the servo or somewhere up stream.
I have not had to work on the AC system so I don't know how difficult access will be.

I do know that on my 95xj6 it has a self diagnostic check when you press a few buttons on the console. I can do this by pressing and holding the AUTO & RECIRCULATION buttons and turn the ignition on, then press the AUTO button and the stored trouble will display. Now I do not know that it will work on the xk8.

I just got this today and have not had a chance to try it out. I will try to test it tonight and will let you know or you can tell me. It is the same as my 95 xj6.
1. Ignition off - hold down AUTO and RECIRCULATION buttons and
switch on the ignition
2. press AUTO button - if ZERO shows, there's no stored
error codes
3. press FACE button repeatedly to scroll through stored
fault codes
4. press FACE and HEATED REAR WINDOW buttons together to
clear a fault code.
5. repeat step 4 if there's more than one code
6. press FAN button to exit Interrogation Procedure
It would seem Jaguar doesn't make this info generally known.
So what's new?
Good luck.

Tried it on an '04 XK8 this afternoon.
It works..........
Fred
Looked in the JTIS. The DTCs that apply to the AC have, in their fault description, a "panel code "listed.
I will assume for now that is the number displayed on the AC control panel.
For instance:
DTRC B1264 says " Footwell servo drive circuit malfunction Panel code 46"
It works..........
