I am getting a code for a blend door stuck......I have done a little research and it looks like you can get an electric controlled blend door and a vacuum controlled door online.
Does anyone know if there are 2 of them? Does anyone know how to get at at? I have heard that it is accessible by removing the back of the glove compartment. Thanks

I hope these cars are not like the 1990-1997 Lincoln Town Cars. You have to remove the entire instrument panel to get to the blend door in those cars. I had a '95 and thankfully no issues with mine while I owned it. Hopefully Cadillac designed theirs to be easier to access.

Good luck!

Ok great......It looks like I am going to need the Mix Door......Do you know if it is accessible by taking the back of the glove box out? Thanks

http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/member.php?u=51995Tennesseestorm- I had a 97 TC and the blend door went out on me on that; it would make a constant clicking sound. It was about 7 hours labor to change it out. I have heard that the Cadillac's are much easier to change tho. Thanks

I changed mine, it not a bad job to do. just remove the back of the glove box and the plastic kick panel at the bottom of the dash and that will put you rite at it... good look

Yep that is how those went out on those. Luckily I never had a problem with my '95 TC, even when I sold it at 235k miles. I imagine that it had already been replaced in the past.
