QUESTION: My heat and A/C work however, the force of air that blows through all the vents, floor and defrost has not force. When you turn it on high, it blows like the fan is only on the second setting. Also, when it's on high, it is very loud in the dash and in the summer when you open the glove box, there is cold air blowing out. I was told by a dealership that the bled air door was probably stuck in the down position and very little air was passing through. When we took the glovebox off and looked at the blend air door, it was broke, at the part that should rotate to different positions. We were able to pull the "door" itself out of the whole unit, we purchased a new unit and realized that you purchase the whole thing, not just the part that was broke. We will have to install the new one when we have more time, I understand its 4-5 hours. We put everything back together (minus) the "door" and it blows great even on the lowest setting. (like it did when it was brand new)
ANSWER: u need a rec door not a blend air door. This door allows outside air inside or makes the air already inside move around. They brake all the time on an 06. U can remove just the dash and not the box to replace this. Need that instructions? take u half a day.
