I replaced a sensor on my wife's 2011 RDX w/Tech and needed to clear the CEL without an OBDII scanner. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and it took care of the light, BUT now the vent position is stuck on defrost and won't change positions! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

perhaps unrelated or just a coincidence...but maybe the blend door actuator has gone out.

That was my immediate thought! Is that one on the passenger side?

There is one located in both the passenger and driver foot wells because we have dual climate control. Check Under-Hood Primary Fuse Box for Number 9 40A Blower for a Bad Fuse to remove use a Fuse Puller and look in Fuse Window to see if it's blown. If not that issue check thread on DIY for Blend Door Actuator Fix.

CS... I think the fuse is okay because I have the blower. The blend door actuator in the driver foot well is functioning because I can actually watch it happen as I change the temperature up and down. Am I wrong in saying there should be at least three one on each side for the temperature and then one for the vent positioning?
