No ac on drivers side. Temp door on heater box assembly broken. Repair or trade?

There’s got to be an alternative here - finding the person that can conceive the alternative is the key.

Thank you! My mechanic thinks out of the box. Unfortunately, that door comes assembled to the core housing, and is not working. The door. With plastic cogs I’m guessing. Finding that door seems Unlikely. Maybe a $3 door, but who knows. Makes no sense but I’m not a mechanic. I’m blonde, female, and stupid. Correction, I’m not stupid, I’m just stunned. Thanks again. Will probably trade it in after mechanic repairs with used housing

Nobody has seen the part because you have to tear the dash apart. I’m gonna look at a used part when it comes in. Then get the old part back if we fix it. Makes sense to little old me!

Started mechanicing ~ 1972 in ‘RURAL’ Virginia, foothills of the Blue Ridge mountings.. ‘That’ IS old school. Have ‘manufactured’ replacement parts by default as there were no other ‘logical’ or reasonable choices... ONLY parts store back then was NAPA - or the dealerships. I honestly think I could have put “Humpty Dumpty” back together again! Good luck with the outcome!

Thanks pushrod. For future reference to all, the part number is 87050-12420 vin JTMRFREV. My car was built in Canada not Japan.
