Update: ACC control motors

The motor buried behind the ACC unit is the one that controls the distribution of air to floor, dash vents, windshield, etc. I only figured that out after taking it all apart and operating it manually with a screwdriver in the hole where the reduction gear goes after it and the motor are removed.
The motor on the side of the passenger footwell, just above the stereo amp on my SE, controls the hot/cold mix. On mine, it turned out the motor worked fine, but the motor is mounted to a little reduction gearbox - and the gear wheel where the motor engages the reduction gear box looks stripped. So I manually set it to no hot air and disconnected the motor for now (it was very very hot and apparently had been doing its little stepping thing continuously). Next time I have the car in the shop, I'll have my indy replace the reduction gearbox - the plastic linkages attached to the reduction gearbox look like something I'd probably get frustrated and break - I'd rather pay someone to fiddle with it. All in all a two-beer job to take it all apart, have a learning experience, and put it all back together...
BTW, the two little motors have SAAB part numbers stenciled on, but are embossed with "BMW" on the extension where the wiring connects....
