    Today when disassembled the glove box, I saw that the air flap works like this:

    does it have anything to do with the open closed circuit? The indicator light in this closed circuit lights up when pressed.
    How can you fix this?

    I had the same thing. I just fixed it today. I also searched various forums and websites to see how to fix it. And actually the tips work. If the LED on the button is on, the internal circuit is on, if it is off, the air is coming in from outside. In my case, whether the internal circuit was on or off, the flap was still flying. It was even so with the ignition on and the zero speed of the air supply. Some write about a decaying engine, others about the side clips holding the flap, and so it was in my case, or rather the broken left side of the upper part of the flap (such a white tube). I unscrewed the storage, then 3 screws (left side) holding the motor and the motor can be removed from the white handle, then the screws holding the housing with the blower - under the flap grille, then the screws holding the grille with the flap, then after moving the pit outside there is a grille mounted on the 4 star bolts, and under it in the middle one bolt holding the grill with the flap and from the inside you can remove the entire grill with the flap. After removing the grille with a flap, the flap is held on two such white handles on the sides. From the motor side, the strip into which the handle enters was cracked and therefore the flap was jumping. Gently with the forceps you have to pull out these white handles, turn the flap backwards to the front (180 degrees, as some write) insert the side handles and fold everything. It is a bit muddy, not enough space to unscrew the screws, but it was worth it, because it has been repaired and works, it hasn't been flying anymore, and I was ready to leave it permanently in the external circulation position and lock it.

    Did you give a system to lower the current? I blocked the flap but I want to do it as the producer has commanded.

    Can you buy such a system?

    Yes, a system for lowering the current. My flap has had a malfunction twice. This time it torn the flap off the shaft. Replacing the flap or repair will not help for a long time. This roller turning motor is too strong.

    I will test with the converter reducing the voltage. Lower voltage lower current. You just have to check if it manages to open and close. So adjust before putting on the clipboard.

    The same problem is in Astra H, you give a 5-8 Ohm resistor about 0.5-1W and it's ok and it doesn't break the drive.

    I don't know much about electronics, so I will ask for exact directions and I will do it with this resistor. Should it be plugged into one cable (e.g. the one with higher potential) supplying the motor just before the motor to reduce the flowing current? Does it matter which cable? Thank you.

    If the power supply to this motor is on a separate fuse, could you replace the fuse with a larger resistance (resistor) to get the same effect as after plugging in an additional resistor?

    It depends on what current is consumed by this motor. Then you could choose a resistor. If the current is relatively large, the resistor may not withstand.

    Same as above.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a blower issue in the ASTRA G vehicle, specifically concerning the air flap's operation in relation to an open-closed circuit. Users report that the air flap malfunctions regardless of the circuit's status, with some identifying broken components as the cause. Solutions proposed include using a resistor to lower the current supplied to the motor, which has been effective in similar cases. Users share experiences with replacing or repairing the flap and suggest testing with a voltage converter to ensure proper operation. Detailed guidance on implementing a resistor to manage current flow is also requested and provided.
