    There is a switch in the forward driver foot well (up against the inner fire wall) that when the accelerator is kicked down contacts this switch and activates the air door. If your air door isn't functioning, this switch often needs to be reset. It tells how to reset it in the service manual but if I remember correctly, you push the switch arm all the way forward and then the next time you punch the accelerator down it resets.

    PS Check the service manual to be sure but I think you turn the key on before pushing the switch arm forward. Then with the key still on,push the accelerator to the floor.
    Diagnosing the system is covered on page 6M-42 in the service manual.

      The hood-mounted actuating solenoid also has to be installed and functional.
