QuestionHow can I trouble shoot my drivers side air. The passengers works great. Its cool. But theres nothing but hot air coming out of the divers side until the car starts to cool down. Then the air gets cooler. Thank you in advance. Just can't afford a big bill at some dealership and I know you tell it like it is so at least I would have some knowledge if I have to take it in.
AnswerHi,
Never go to the dealer to repair the car. Very commonly known for parts changing and never fixing the problem. There are reputable independents out there that are as good as the dealer if not better with the same equipment.
The misnomer is that the dealer knows the car better than anyone. That is simply not true!
As for your problem, my thought is that you have a vacuum problem under the dash. Mode doors control the flow of air and are vacuum operated. If a door is not functioning for your vent, that could be the problem. Another variable is the dual climate control and there may be an issue with that.
Without being at the vehicle, it is impossible to diagnose your problem, but I think if you have the vehicle looked at in a reputable garage, I believe you will find my thoughts close to what your problem is and it shouldn't be extremely expensive to repair.
Good luck and let me know what is found.
