Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue as I haven't been able to find a thread with my exact symptoms.
Climate control only works on Hi or Lo temp settings. Blower motor works fine, I am only referring to temperature controls, if I set to Hi it blows hot air but when backing down the temperature it will continue to blow hot until I get to Lo in which case it will begin to blow cold. If I go back up and try to adjust temperature it will continue to blow cold air until I reach the Hi setting again. I am unable to manually set variable temp settings from 60-85 degrees.
This is true for single zone or dual climate so I know that both the driver side and passenger side blend doors are functioning to some degree because they will switch from hot to cold but only at the Hi and Lo settings.
Anyone else ever had this problem? Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.
side note, the ambient temperature sensor located behind the front grill is working normally, it shows the correct outside temperature (I also replaced this just for giggles to see if that still might be the issue as it was a cheap and relatively easy job to rule it out) this was the issue on the only other similar thread I could find here
