Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out. I've been going through some heater problems on my 2005 LE, auto climate system. I'll put it in point form to make it easier to read. Hoping someone can help me out quickly because I need to take it on the highway in a week!
- Everything worked fine one day driving home from work (I work out of town), proper air volume and heat
- The next morning the blower motor didn't work in cold weather
- Moved my vehicle into a heated garage and after warming up the blower motor would turn on.
- Didn't want to risk having it cut out again on the way to work because I wouldn't be able to heat or defrost in the Canadian winter, so I ordered a replacement blower motor and the variable blower control (VBC) module.
- Swapped out the VBC, blower motor and changed the cabin air filter while i was at it. Turned the vehicle on and the blower motor worked fine
- Blower motor speed is now adjustable but no air is coming out of the vents. At highway speeds a small amount of air comes out but not enough to defrost the window.
- I can switch modes (defrost, front vents, bottom vents) and the faint air at highway speeds will move to different zones so the blend door actuator should still be good.
The problem could be one of the other blower doors but I don't know which one or how to get to it, does anyone have any ideas? I don't have access to parts right now but even if I could force it open while I wait for a replacement that would be acceptable.
