Have you tried replacing the thermostat?skinny2 wrote:My rear AC quit working this summer and the heat isn't working this winter. I'm also getting no heat at idle from the front sporadically. I've always had problems with the heat/ac from day 1 so I'm not sure if it's just the extension of that problem getting worse or something else. There are times in the summer you have to set the temp to 80 to keep it from freezing you out...and other times you have to set the heat to 65 to keep it from boiling you. Then other times (typically when it's very cold) it doesn't put out enough heat even if it's set to 80. Seems like it's one of the temp sensors but I'm wondering if this no heat at idle thing isn't something else.
No. Engine temps seem to be right on the money and it's so erratic it really seems like it has to be the hvac controller or some sensor attached. I've found that there are two sensors..one inside the car and one outside. They're only about $50 a piece but I just haven't messed with it. I'm assuming the rear heat/ac has some blockage or something in the lines. No leaks anywhere.smj999smj wrote:Have you tried replacing the thermostat?skinny2 wrote:My rear AC quit working this summer and the heat isn't working this winter.
