Something unplugged and cannot find where it goes

Pic 1 is an electrical connector and pic 2 is the A/C drain.

The mode door is what controls air flow direction. I looked it up and found that this one is controlled by a cable. Take a look at these directions for removal and replacement of the cable. Check the cable shown and see if it is disconnected or broken.

Take a look at this link for a better description and what to do when it is stuck in defrost mode:

Hi,

I'm glad to hear you got it fixed. I'm confident it wasn't a fun job. LOL There isn't a lot of room to work.

Regardless, please feel free to come back anytime in the future if you have questions or need help.

Take care of yourself.

Joe
