I've read many of the threads here and believe I have a problem with the temperature blend control. The front vents only blow hot air when in AC mode with full cold dialed on the temp dial. The back vents blow cold air (when in AC on cold) and hot air (when temp turned to heat) like they are supposed too. I know I need to take the dash and console off to do the full repair. My question is - is there a simple temporary quick fix to get the temp blend valve over to cold A/C for the time being until I can go through the dash removal hassle? Thanks for any replies! Great site btw - |

Replying to: airconman (Jun 24, 2008 5:53 pm) I was able to get the temperature blend door to shift over to blow cold air. I turned the ignition to on, but did not start the car. I closed the front vents, except one. Then I took a shop vac and reversed the hose to the exhaust position to blow air, and I put the hose up to the one open air vent. Then I moved the temperature dial back and forth a bit and finally left it on full cold. Voila, when I started the car, crisp cold air was coming out of the front air con. So the temperature blend door was somehow shifted to the cold position. Not sure long it will stay this way. Hopefully until fall, or until I can remove the dash.

Replying to: airconman (Jun 26, 2008 6:35 am) - When you do the trick with the shop vac do you have the selection dial to AC Max, or Vent or Defrost or what? - Do you have the fan dial turned on when you do this? Also, a couple details about my symptoms. My AC is blowing non-cold in front and back. However when I hook up a can of R-134 with the dial gauge on it, it reads to the top of the "Full" category before I add any. So I start the engine with the gauge attached and turn the AC onto max and fan on High and the compressor kicks on ever few seconds and the the gauge dials down to the bottom of the "Full" range then slides back to the top of the "Full" range and the compressor cycles again. The gauge never dips into the "Low" range. This looks to me like I have plenty of R-134 in my system and some other issue is causing my AC to not chill. Maybe I have a vent door issue too?

Replying to: mrpatryan (Jun 26, 2008 6:22 pm) I am not an expert and don't know much about the AC system. However, given that you are getting the same thing out of the front and back vents suggest it may not be the temperature blend door that is the culprit. There is temp blend door in front and another one in back that work independently. Unlikely they went out at the same time. Good luck |

I had 3 problem with my air controls in one day. My air speed control only works on low and high. The A/C only works on max A/C but not well. And last The A/C on any other setting blows hot air. A/C is charged was At 25 I upped the charge to 40 to see if that would help, But it didn't Thanks |
