[T3] fresh air vent control nob not working

Hey Steven,
to answer your question about the fresh air flaps, i would start off 
by saying look in the Bentley Manual. There is a fairly good picture 
of the workings of the flaps and cables. At least you will have a 
visual. The flaps are controlled by 2 cable's, as you turn the fresh 
air adjust knobs they pull on cable shortening it or elongating it, 
on the other end the cable pushs and pulls to open and close the 
flaps in the fresh air box. I would check to make sure that the 
clamps on either end of the cable has not come loose. If all is ok 
there i would check to make sure the cable's loop on the end has not 
come off of the flap arm. There should be a little spring fitting 
that holds the cable end to the flap arm. One of these things should 
be causing the problem. I would suggest taking out the fresh air box 
for it is really difficult to see the ends of the cables that connect 
to the flap arms with is being installed. Also a good time to clean 
out all of the garbage that has collected in there over the years.
As far as drilling holes in the bottom of your doors, they already 
have them from the factory. One at the rear and one at the front of 
the door. Take off the door panel and make sure there is no debris 
inside the door that is clogging the drains. Once the door is cleaned 
out use a small pointed object to clean out any dirt in the drain 
holes. I used the end of a strong zip tie so that i would not scratch 
any paint off. Hope this clears things up. I have pictures of where 
the cables hook up to the fresh air flaps if you want a visual i can 
email them to you directly. Reply to me at my home address of 
jjmojo@blazenet.net for i am email from work.
later,
jesse
