I have a 1989 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer edition with a 5.8 in it. The guy we bought the Bronco from says he replaced everything that had to do with the a/c. We can not get the a/c to work in the summer and the heat to work in the winter. It blows very strong. I absolutley have no idea on what to do.

ARE THE HEATER HOSES GETTING GOOD AND HOT NEAR THE FIREWALL?

THE A/C MAY BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY (UNLESS YOU CAN FEEL THE LINES UNDER THE HOOD GETTING GOOD AND COLD WHEN IT'S TURNED ON

BOTH SYSTEMS WITHIN THE HVAC DO SHARE SOME THINGS IN COMMON--LIKE BLEND DOORS, THEY MAY BE STUCK OR NOT MOVING---THE BLOWER AIR MAY BE, BEING DIVERTED AROUND THE HEAT OR COOL SOURCE INSTEAD OF BEING BLOWN THRU IT(WHAT YOU WANT IT TO DO!)

ARE THEY WORKING?

SOME USE VACUUM TO OPERATE THEM OTHERS USE ELECTRIC MOTORS OR EVEN COMBINATIONS OF BOTH

I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM

I STILL MAY BE ABLE TO HELP

CHANGE MY WORDING FOR OTHER/ MAYBE BETTER RESULTS....HERE'S SOME SUGGESTIONS TO ADD IN TO SEARCH WITH....BLEND DOORS...ACTUATORS...HVAC...HEAT...A/C...ANYTHING RELATED

ONCE YOU CHANGE THE SEARCH OR START "SURFING" THE SUGGESTIONS DOWN THE SIDE.....YOU CAN LEARN A WHOLE LOT ABOUT HOW YOURS MIGHT BE MESSED UP.

I USE YOU TUBE CONSTANTLY, THE FIRST TIME WAS TO CORRECTLY ADJUST MY GARAGE DOOR TENSION SPRINGS---THE LAST IS ONGOING, HOW TO USE MY CANON EOS T3 NICE DIGITAL CAMERA MY WIFE GOT ME FOR CHRISTMAS

I GET THE "FEEL" FOR STUFF AND ACTUALLY SEE THE PROCESS---THEN I SORTA GAUGE OUT HOW "CONVINCING" THE NARRATOR WAS, THIS AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS OR REPAIR MANUALS I TACKLE THE PROBLEMS WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

ANOTHER RESOURCE TO SEE WHAT SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE (IF MENTIONED) OR IT'S COST, IS TO GO TO AUTOZONE OR ADVANCE AUTO ONLINE OR OTHER PLACES ONLNE

I REALLY HOPE THIS INFO HELPS BETTER THAN ME RATTLING OFF TEXT

THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER HELPFUL RESOURCE...I SWEAR BY 'EM, SORTA A MAP FOR THE INSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE
