Hello,
So I have searched through the threads here on the blend door actuator problem, trying to find a fix for my issue.
First of all, I have the DATC and my problem is that in the summer, my driver's side vent and middle vents blow luke warm air while the passenger side blows cold air. The rear air blows cold air and I measured the temperature at 65 degrees. I checked the refridgerant using a guage I got at the local auto parts store and it says I am good from that stand point. In the the winter, I do get the clicking sound from somewhere in the dash when I first turn on the car. This leads me to the blend door actuator. Now since I have the DATC, I am assuming I have two actuator's in the dash, and that my likely problem one is the driver's side actuator. Most of the threads here that I have searched for and read state the problem is that most of you are getting cold air in the winter (no heat). My problem is no cold air in the summer when the AC is turned on (so with the DATC I turned off auto, turned temp to 60, turned up the vent control, and made full blast a/c was on).
Am I correct that I need a new driver's side blend door actuator?
Also, does anyone out there have a part number from the dealer? Any thoughts on non-dealer parts? I saw one thread that didn't recommend anything other than dealer parts for this.
Thanks
Scott
