Need to manually adjust heat
I searched for a while and couldn't find how to manually switch from cold to heat under the dash. I had an aftermarket radio put in and ever since my heat hasn't worked properly. I took it to a few places. In the summer I had heat no AC. I took it to my mechanic and he manually switched it under the dash from hot to cold and showed me what to do. Now that it's cold i looked under the dash but forgot how he did it. Does anyone know how to do it, any pics? I couldn't find it in the DIY. My mechanic is 1 1/2 hours away. I'd hate to have to drive that far for him to do a 2 minute fix.

So your A/c heat knob is not working? Or did you remove it for the aftermarket radio?
If it's not working, pull it out and pull it apart. There might be a disconnected wire if not there are three prongs that will have broken solder joints. Just solder them back togther and you'll have a working ac system. There is a DIY for the repair. It is super easy. Even if you have never soldered before, go to radio shack buy a cheap soldering iron and a small thing of solder for about 20 dollars total. If you did your radio swap then you should be able to do the whole repair in a hour. If you don't know how to pull the radio it might take more like 1.5 hours. |
the HVAC module interfaces with the radio so it would probably have to be worked around, i saw a few DIY for radio install that should cover this issue. i have not needed to do it since we still have the stock radio.

Pull out the glove box (like to change air filter). Look for something that looks like this
