The air runs just fine for awhile. It may not do this for 15 or 30 minutes. But once it starts, it does it at least every 5-10 minutes. The AC blows hard and is cold but it will switch from the regular vent in the dash to the floor vents then to the vent up by the windshield. It does this over and over in no exact pattern. Sometimes switching to the floor vent first and then next time to the windshield vent first. I will turn it on and off and flip the switch that makes it blow harder or softer. Sometimes this seems to have an effect and it will return to the dash vent. Other times it seems to have no effect at all. On the average, it takes it 45 seconds to complete the change until it is back to the dash vents. Does anyone know what is wrong and about how much it is to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Heater center you may get rid of via touching heater hoses after vehicle warms up the two could be warm. If one is chilly then heater center is clogged. to envision the mixture door actuator open the glove field each of how out and on precise there'll be this white field see in case you will discover on the backside area the arm shifting if no longer then the actuator has failed. If the arm is shifting, then get rid of the actuator and examine the door to make certain if the precise is broken. if so you may replace the heater case. Helmut have been given incorrect information from the keep he took his vehicle to. The sprint does not could be bumped off to swap the actuator. relies upon on the fashion of actuator you have some basically pop up with a protracted screwdriver, some will choose a 8mm ratchet wrench/socket. the two are straightforward to get rid of and take approximately 5-10 min. desire this facilitates

These are electronically controlled. You have a gear in the damper control module that is broken. It will be connected to the damper control shaft and have wires going to it. There are 2 maybe 3 dampers, so make sure you find the one that's messed up before pulling it off. Good luck.
