I've searched and read every blend door, A/C, and heater issue on the site, and I still can't figure this out! I'm befuddled. Here's what's going on:
First, the blower motor went out. No problem, right? I fixed that with no issues. Right after that, I started experiencing issues almost identicle to the infamous blend door syptoms, such as: A/C would turn hot, heater would turn cold, and the trickiest one to diagnose, it would switch between defrost, floor, and panel intermittently and more frequently when on the throttle or letting up on the throttle.
With that said, here's what I've done so far: checked for trouble codes - none, checked fuses - fuse #9 was out. this fuse is for the Message Center and EATC memory, but I dont see how that would effect performance of the EATC itself, I visually inspected all the vacuum lines and reservior - all looked fine.
So, I thought for sure it was a broken blend door. I cut open the box and checked the door. It's not broken but it doesn't move freely. Is it supposed to? Does that mean theres a problem with the actuator freezing up?
Does anyone have any advice? I have a 95 Exploder, Eddie Bauer. Thank you in advance
EDIT: I just unhooked the wire harness from the actuator, and noticed that someone put some clear hot glue around the connector on the actuator. I wonder if that means this unit has already been rebuilt...
