1. Remove the instrument panel compartment. Refer to Instrument Panel Compartment Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.
2. Connect a fused jumper wire between terminal 5 of C224 and B+.
3. Connect a fused jumper wire between terminal 4 of C224 and ground.
4. Connect a fused jumper wire between terminal 1 of C224 and ground.
5. When the ground is removed from terminal 1 the actuator should rotate counterclockwise to the recirculate position. When the ground is applied to terminal 1 the actuator shaft should rotate clockwise to the fresh position.

Does the air inlet actuator operate correctly?
