My vent control on my dash, only works on defrost and floor mode, If i turn it to face vents i get nothing? Nothing on max a/c either.
Not sure why, any ideas?

If i turn it to all windshield vent ( defrost ) it works, and split windshield and floor vent it works,it just does not work on the face vents.

I popped off the dash cover and removed the controller assemble to check the vacuum line leading to the back and there all connected, non looked blocked or cracked, and nothing was kinked either.

Does anyone have a HVAC vacuum line diagram, so I can see what color vac line controls the face vents?

any help would be awesome! I'm not looking forward to taking this issue to the dealer, I know they will rip me off for this repair!
thanks.

I NEED SOME PICS! DIAGRAMS SOMETHING!!!

damn, ill have to get back to you tomorrow, i've got 2 HVAC boxes but its dark and late

 

Any luck, or idea, what my issue could be? I took my Dakota to my local dodge dealer just to get an idea, they estimated the cost of repairs at over $1,200 bucks! I knew it....
Its never something easy or simple. They said thay have to remove the entire dash and steering wheel to get to the "acuator and arm controls". Labor will be a day and a half.

If any one has a fix for this please help me out, is there a way to to just bypass this crap, and jam the door open or something? I dont see it being a day and a half to repair thats just insane!!!

Im so pissed off, i just want to set the thing on fire and walk away. I got this truck in Novemeber, of last year, only 2 months and i dumped over 800 bucks into it, upper ball joints, shocks, tie rod ends etc. Now this bull **** is acting up.



ALSO DOES ANY ONE KNOW A DECENT DODGE MECHANIC IN NORTH NEW JERSEY??
If i cant fix this I would rather pay someone who will, and wont rip me off like the dealers would!!!

thanks.

 

the vacc lines to the dash actuator are blue and yellow
and its easy a day to get it done

 

im in Northern NJ but iv never had the dash that far apart on one of these trucks . . . (and im not TECHNICALLY a mechanic) but where in northern nj are ya? we got a pretty decent dealer not too far from us i could give ya (im on the Kinnelon/Lincoln Park border)

 

Im located in Randolph, Rockaway area. ( morris county)
I dont care how far away i may have to drive , if it will save me some money and get my truck fixxed then im in.
send me some info on that guy.

so your thinking that the hvac box has to be replaced? Theres no easy fix to this?

 

you can simply replace the vaccum actuator if thats the problem

 

 

We're not all thieves. It's actually a pretty easy dash to remove. I can print the R & R if you want to try it yourself.

 

that would be awesome!

I would still like to make sure that they are correct before i go and remove my dash. Does it sound like it could be that issue?

Im assumeing thats what the issue is because thats what they said, but you know what happens when you "assume"....


also is there a proper way to test this?
