#79 of 98 Re: How to 'pull the damper strap on the right side'? [jcwsbltd] by bluesf Sep 22, 2008 (5:40 pm)
Replying to: jcwsbltd (Sep 22, 2008 8:16 am) Thanks for the info, jcwsbltd. I'll try your suggestion after I pick up the replacement Z-fold filter from Pep Boys. I have heard the dealer charges $90 for this filter (might include both plastic frame and element). Could this filter be rejuvenated 3 or 4 times with a vacuum cleaner? Or is it a single use disposable? How do you squeeze the paper filter in the middle? Fingers? Combination of fingers and L-nose appliers? I've undone the two 'H' clips, as well as pinching the front clips to slide out the plastic frame about 45% (when I got stuck). Have not tried to collect and squeeze filter in the middle.
#80 of 98 air or heater always on by dukesdad2 Dec 08, 2008 (9:02 pm)
My new Santa Fe Ltd. has automatic climate control. Is there a way to just have the outside air blowing at different fan speeds? It seems it's either a/c or heater, but not just outside air. Thanks.

Replying to: dukesdad2 (Dec 08, 2008 9:02 pm) Can't you just turn off the Auto function and press the fan button a few times to reach your desired fan speed? Replies to this message: paulnz (Dec 09, 2008 7:44 pm) jcwsbltd (Dec 10, 2008 8:18 am) NY_Maverick (Apr 01, 2009 11:38 am)

Replying to: oscar_gata (Dec 09, 2008 9:45 am) I have the same problem as dukesdad2. You would THINK that if the climate control system is off that it would just let the outside air in without heating or cooling it, but that is not the case. The air that comes in the car seems to be heated or cooled based on what the temp setting of the climate control system is(even though you can't see that temp when the system is 'off').   I have only found two ways to get around the problem:   1. Push the recirculate button, but then you don't get any outside air into the car.   2. Set the climate control temp to the same temp as the interior of the car thereby causing it to neither heat nor cool the air. Seems like an awful lot of work just to get some fresh air.   Have others noticed this same thing? Or do we perhaps have defective Santa Fes?

Replying to: paulnz (Dec 09, 2008 7:44 pm) Yep - it's made that way - it's simply attempting to keep the temp at the desired setting. The big question is : is the Auto control really off, if it is switched off? Replies to this message: NY_Maverick (Apr 01, 2009 11:38 am)
#84 of 98 Remember when? by rick2456 Dec 15, 2008 (4:28 am)
Remember when heating and cooling your car was simple (simple twist of a knob). This is why I chose the SE instead of the Limited. I absolutely hate auto climate control. It is a huge step backward (in function) and only increases the automakers profit margins.

Replying to: sothpaw1962 (Jun 29, 2007 1:34 pm) I have the same vehicle (2007 SE). No complaints here at all and I live in the high humidity of the south.
#86 of 98 A/C Release Valve - Freon Release by mr_rpl Mar 20, 2009 (11:35 am)
I have an 2003 Santa Fe. A/C started blowing hot air, so I checked the a/c and the freon was low. We charged the system to recomended level. It was just a minute or two after charging the system that we hard a loud noise and a cloud of freon coming from under the hood. It seems like a release valve opened and let the freon out, because we checked the freon level again, and it was low. We charged the system again, and again a cloud of freon was released. Does anyone know what may be causing this problem? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: jcwsbltd (Dec 10, 2008 8:18 am) I can confirm the same conditions on 2008 Limited AWD. The system seems to always be in an ON/SLEEP state even if the fan is not engaged resulting in either HEAT or COOL depending on the ambient temperature.   I've learned to live with it.
