This issue has just started and is intermittent.... here is a quick description...
When I turn on the A/C, I'll have it going at say a power of 2, with the temperature set to the coldest, and all of a sudden, I can here something that sounds like it might be a door closing, and the air will just stop. It won't go warm as most people have issues with, it won't get more powerful or even a little less powerful, it just stops. No air is moving, no sound is coming from the vents, just nothing. So to see if I can fix this, I'll turn the power to 4 or 3 or 1, I'll let it sit at these different settings for a few seconds and still nothing. Then out of nowhere, at any of the power settings, it will come on, blasting the air at whatever power setting it happens to be on.
I hope that description is good enough, if you have any questions, don't hold back.
Now something that might help with the process of figuring out what is the problem, or how to fix this, I will say that a friend mechanic said that it sounds like the Blend Air Door is the issue.
Now my questions are as follows:
Is there a switch or fuse that controls the Door that I can just replace to see if that works?
Is it just the motor going bad? And if so, I am having one hell of a time finding a replacement blend air door motor online, any direction there? Is it salvageable (sp)?
In any case, this is not a big deal as like I said, it is intermittent, and either happens every day for a week, or doesn't happen for a whole month.
I figure it is something electrical because I am also having issues with the instrument cluster, as in, sometimes the engine temperature will work, and then sometimes it goes funky and reads the temperature backwards, and sometimes my oil guage will get stuck in the center (evern after turning the car off) and I heard that that is the negative cable going loose on the cluster, in any case, pointless information as my issue with this thread is the Blend Air Door. Oye
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
